Cover for Biocube

[MDeVito]

Hey guys, just made the switch to a Kessil a160we and took the top off my 29 biocube, any ideas on good tops? My yellow prawn goby likes to move around the water column and it makes me slightly nervous. I'm open for any ideas!
Thanks for reading,
Happy Reefin

I was thinking of cutting one to fit out of acrylic for my new bc. I'm sure there is a way to do a screen top as well, but the rounded front would make it tricky. Maybe someone handy can chime in on that?

I was leaning acrylic too

I made a quick fix on my bio cube. I just used egg crate and cut to fit the tank and it works great.

Great idea!

Does that mess with the lighting of the tank? I have a Kessil 160.

Yes. It will notably reduce PAR, though BRS has a screen kit that has a lesser impact.

I went to a local place that cuts glass, they made me one for my old nano bio cube 14g for 75$ nice clean look, I just went to lowes and added some clear rubber stopper so it would sit off the tank. I'll try and look for photos

I miss nanocustoms (aka nanotuners) they would have something awesome for this. We should've supported them better when we had them.
