I’ve looking setup! Looks like you are off to a great start.

If you need equipment, try looking in the marketplace here on R2R, you can often great deals on both new and used gear offered by other R2R members. This can be a good way to get equipment while saving some money.

Good luck with your tank!

Honestly, that’s something I’m trying to figure out too. It looks like you have a standard rimmed tank, looks like a 90 gallon. I would think someone has a lid or screen to fit that tank. Other option include DIY screen tops or custom made acrylic tops, but these get expensive if you’re in a budget. DIY is almost certainly the least expensive option, some plastic egg crate material, some screen material, and you’re more or less done. The egg crate can be cut to just rest on that inside lip of the rim on your tank.

I recently ordered this screen kit, I got the smaller size for a 10 gallon, but this would fit your tank. I haven’t received it yet, and it looks a little cheesy. I just need a temporary top for a QT tank, so I thought I’d try this. If it works and seems substantial enough for your tank I will let you know.
