I'm also interested if you'll do custom lids for a custom tank.
If you’re curious, this is the cutout they did for me and the plank auto feeder.

question for you guys that have the karken lid. are you getting condensation on the under side of the lid?
does it dip off all over the place when you take it off?

i believe most lids will do this. especially if not enough "vents" are added/designed. just part of the condensation/evaporation

It does a tiny bit. But not very much. Like a couple drops

are those the AI blades? I have a pair resting right on the tank to keep light slip down.
was wondering if the 2 center braces effect the light spread? or give an odd effect?
Yeas they’re 2x AI Blade (Grow and Glow). If you use the evaporation lids, those will gather up water beneath them over time and dim the light spred just a smidge because of it. The evaporation lids also affect PH because of the oxygen exchange so be aware. Because of this, I stopped using them.

Without the evaporation lids, everything is pretty golden and undisturbed.

cool good to know I have 2X grow. hoping the center braces dont cast a shadow.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
