Hood for my EVO 13.5?

[Bombschell]

I did a couple of searches but just kept finding people selling their original one. What are people using for lids on these things? I have mine open but I worry about carpet surfing fish and have pulled a couple of floating insects out.

Doesn’t the eco 13.5 come with a lid? If your not using it purchase an innovative marine or Red Sea mesh top

Thank You! I went “topless” for a while but was too worried about carpet surfers and having to fish cat toys out of the water!

I would just get a glass lid made, so long as there are some holes/gaps for fresh air to get in there no issue with gas exchange, the loss in PAR is insignificant, and it will reduce evaporation tenfold. I currently have a glass lid on my JBJ 28g Nanocube, and I like it way more than the mesh lids.

You have that made at a local glass shop or just buy a flat glass and burr holes in it?

Both. I started with a piece of glass I cut myself, and I’m in the process of having one made at a glass shop. I brought in the hood so they could use it as a template and then told them where to put some cut-outs. I’m hoping to get it this week.

I bought a kraken reef one. Expensive but quality.

It fits the 13.5 peninsula layout ok? Can you post a pic?
