Can anyone suggest a place to buy a lid for a Reefer 170?

The bad reviews are scaring me away from purchasing Red Sea's official kits.

I see there are the Clear View Lids from Artfully Acrylic, however the delivery time on those the last time I checked was 2-3 months. Though today their website seems to be down.

I haven't been able to find any other options, anyone know any?

Pretty much every company that makes them will have the same lead time of 2-3 months to get one due to the high demand.
There’s also Octo-Aquatics and Top-Lids to name a couple more

This seems better reviewed than the red sea kits, so I decided to give it a shot. Thanks for the recommendation!

Keep us posted. I got a reefer 350 that wants a lid as well.

I have the RSR lid on my 625. It's not great, and probably over priced. But, it does do the job. It's definitely measure twice, cut once. That said, I'd buy another if I set up another RSR tank.

Its a nice kit. Comes with extra parts! Very sturdy. I used a hacksaw and some sandpaper and it went pretty good. If i had a miter saw it would have been perfect!

I bought a lid from safe top lids.
New management.

I couldn’t tell you enough how much better they are than competitors. It’s not just the product - but they are great at communication and their service.

Their wait time was better than AA as well.
Look at their designs. It’s miles better than others that have condensation issues and sagging. Lastly - yes it’s cheaper to get the HD frame and nets - but it’s absolutely trash compared to an acrylic lid.

I totally agree!!! I purchased a DD kit for my 250 and regretted not buying the RSR kit to begin with. That was until I got one for my RSR nano and immediately regretted that decision too hahaha! Nothing compares to an acrylic lids sturdy and clean look. The Kits started to rust as well :mad:

Man that is a sharp lid. I really like Top Lids but I have ordered one and the guy is not responding. Been over 3 weeks ago and I'm trying to get a feel and see if anyone had issues getting a response.
