Good cover for rimless tanks

[choss]

I am looking to add a customer made cover for my 96 gallon ReefSavvy tank. Its a rimless tank so I want something that won't take away from the awesome design of the ReefSavvy tank, but will fit perfectly to ensure that wrasses and other fish don't find their way past the cover. And while I don't mind investing in quality equipment, I'd love opinions on the best value out there.

Please share pics of your covers as well.

That is one awesome tank. Do you have the armored seams on your tank? Also, do you recall roughly how much the lid set you back with shipping?

Top Lids is another good source. They have the fusion lid which eliminates any moisture build up under the top.

Hey @madcitycityreefer - do you have a build thread? I have to see more of your tank!

Break out the wallet and get Artfully Acylic!

The wallet has been broken....out. Yeah, I haven't exactly spared any expenses on this tank so why start now. But then again, I want to see what all the options are. Top Lids does look interesting. I will get some quotes and report back.

Checked out safetoplids.com — evidently a new company since Jan. 2018. Very impressive.

Size 48” x 26” about $270 for the lid and $50 to have is shipped. I don’t believe I have armored seams it a older Reef Savvy tank that was built 9yrs ago.

3 separate pieces of glass works great for me especially for the 10$ cost. The lids pictured sure look great but dang those prices are high for just something that covers the tank.

Cheap version ordered on line and built custom ourselves. Ordered from marine depot.
93 cube tank
So far has kept in our wrasses and others.

Looks nice but that’s like putting hub caps on a Lambo...
