You can get screen window kits at your local hardware store that work great for tops. I agree with the glass issues. I've never used them, but it makes sense that they would hold in heat.

What about evaporation though? I'm away from the house during the school year from six to ten at night, and I usually still have homework.
My son has a 50 gallon with a 20 gallon sump and he evaporates less than a gallon day. You can get yourself an automatic top off and take care of the problem or you can top it off every day in the morning and you would probably be fine.
yeah that seems awesome, also I want to add to my stock list a mandarin, I figure with a scrubber, and a seperate fuge I could get the pod population I need.Agreed! We can help you make the tops. Someone in the club has the special tool to apply the rubber "gasket" that holds the screen to the frame. I would order some 1/4" plastic mesh from BRS and get the framing from a local hardware store. Your tank will be a little tricky to do because it's not square but I think we could figure it out!
can I get away with using PC lighting for the scrubber?The acrylic blocks the lights from splashing water. If you look you can see water droplets on front facing piece thats there to block water from splashing on my door and ultimately the sump or floor
Your idea for two tanks for the fuge/scrubber is a good plan. Instead of your siphon tube thingy you should consider getting each tank drilled and put a bulkhead in there to connect the two tanks. Either way you do it, make sure you clean the drain often so the first tank doesn't overflow if the drain gets clogged.
I am so scared of drilling a tank :sad:
how much does it cost?Have the aquatic critter do it for you.
Is that a known problem with BRS rock?, and will it be persistent?
