My Tank Thread
My Aquarium Showcase
The top of the tank can seem like a small detail. ...until you have a jumper, evaporation to manage, or a lid that makes routine access awkward.
Some reefers cover the whole tank, some use a partial screen, and some prefer to leave it open. What works best can depend on the fish you keep, your setup, and what tradeoffs you’re comfortable with.
What does the top of your reef look like, and what led you to that choice?
BONUS POINTS: Have you changed your setup after a fish jumped, evaporation became a hassle, or you found a cover that worked better?
