PETG Floating Reef Lid?

[tehDude48]

Hello I have been thinking what does everyone think about a a floating lid made out of PETG with a honeycomb design? Using this https://www.printables.com/model/380870-customizable-honeycomb-storage-wall-openscad
For a waterbox peninsula 6025
And yes floating on the water?

do you mean literally floating on the surface of the water? If so I wouldn't think that's a good idea, it would be a perfect place for algae to grow at the water's surface with high surface area, intense lighting and good gas exchange.

If it is directly floating on the water, I think that wouldn't be a good idea. If you are talking about it being a "lid" for your tank, not a bad idea, haha.

Yes that’s what I was thinking

This is exactly why I’m asking. Thank you for this advice
