Hi - Im working with a vendor for a quote and the discussion of a valence came up (mostly because it looks cool in the pic - I admit).
How do most of you deal with closing off the top of a 200+ gallon aquarium? Back in the day I just had one of those ugly looking plastic lids. The pro was that it kept the fish in, the evaporation down and had a spot to put some lights (I recall having to clean the glass on a regular bases that housed the lights)
Is there an advantage of a valence over a 'Glass lid'? I wonder about keeping the 'Glass lid' clean - I would guess condensation builds up on it which reduces the light that can penetrate the water no?
Thanks
