Best tank lids for eels?

[Be102]

After the discussion earlier about reefsafe eels, I decided to look into purchasing one.. I just am curious on what the best types of lids are or atleast what people use the most? I originally built myself two screen lids with stuff from home depot, yet dont know if those would suffice... I dont really like my glass lids, too restricting of airflow they seem.. What do you guys use?

Years ago when I setup my first and 2nd Fish only system I lost probably 3 eels to jumping. First time I didnt have a cover. Second time I had the end of the perfecto hood cover with a plastic lid with some weights, eel still managed to slip out. I would not trust anything other than a fully covered Net. They will 100% jump out otherwise!
