Lid idea

Trying to figure out a lid. I have a 4 foot 90 G. With radion rail. Was rocking without a lid until my blue tang tried to commit suicide. Lol

Does it have a center brace and frame?

Best price on custom lids you’ll find. No charge for customizations. I’ve ordered lids for several tanks, they come out perfect and half the price as anywhere else

I use them currently on my 48” reef and my Waterbox nano

Here is the lid for my Waterbox, if you want pics for the 75g lid let me know and I’ll post them also

Yes. I should have mentioned that oops lol

Identical to my tank just a few inches taller

A mostly solid lid with some aeration vents is superior to the common mesh lids

The condensation is water that would have evaporated, the solid lids catch it and as it accumulates, it drips back into the tank. This keeps salinity more stable and reduces the amount of tip off water needed. It does not leave salt creep. Solid lids like this also function as a shelf for your tools. This mesh fishing line lids really can’t support any weight on them


The park of panels for this tank are $180 and come with whatever customizations and cutouts you need

I use a couple polycarbonate sheets cut to size. I ordered a couple of 1/4” thick from Amazon. I made them a few inches short (front to back) to allow some gas exchange.

I used a Screen door repair kit for my tank. There are many different ways you can make (or buy) a lid for your tank. Just have to do the one you like the most!

I’ve always liked canopies.

Like @Gumbies R Us , I bought a screen frame kit, and a roll of mesh with 1/4" holes in it, some aluminum hinges and made my own frame.

Buddy of mine did that. Leaning towards that lol

I use the red sea diy kits, come with everything you need. Only takes some simple math to create a lid perfect to your spec.

Aside from the lids mentioned that are hard plastic you can also look into wire mesh. The tank i have has a wire mesh lid that I keep clamps on to hold down.
