Like most folks I made a mesh lid from a window screen kit. It was serviceable but I forgot to include a door for feeding and my DIY nori holder clip had the screen not sitting flush.
I had seen a hobbyist make one out of acrylic here and decided to give it a shot.
I had some scrap acrylic lying around and decided to make a new one which included a door big enough to allow a feeding cup to enter, a notch for my power head cable and when the door is closed enough room to let my nori clip stay in the tank without propping the lid up.
I was going to "Try" to channel it so I could use the normal window screen spline which I have, but the I decided to go the quick route and used heavy duty velcro instead. This made it go much quicker.
Now I have to find a bag of acrylic hinges I know are somewhere in my basement and I will attach the door.
Hope you enjoyed
