My 80 gallon rimless has been up and going for 7 months now and I was concerned about evaporation loss as well. I lose at least a gallon a day with this system. I installed at ATO and a 5 gallon reservoir and that helped but still worry about the humidity levels from this in my lower level of home. I haven’t seen add on tops for my deep blue tank so I found acrylic clips online that slide down and clip on rim of tank that could be used to hold some kind of canopy .Okay I have my first tank 1200mm reef tank and was wondering do I need a lid as there is a lot of evaporation, im curious to see if others are using a lid or not and the reasons why
I had Acrylic top on a 36 inch tank, it bowed every 2 weeks and I had to keep flipping over so it would bow the other way.I may get an acrylic made to size that can be removed easy I think
Doesn't the eel eat fish?I use this https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/1-8-...MIlfzQ073H5AIViYbACh1nJQKJEAQYBSABEgJZcPD_BwE
I need something cause I have an eel that likes to jump out. Also had a goby? Really not sure where it went. I haven’t seen it in over a week so maybe it died but I have no idea.
I have a snowflake eel. Got it when it was super tiny and feed it often. Never messed with my shrimp or my fish.Doesn't the eel eat fish?
How did you do your glass top on rimlesss tank? CI really like the rimless tank with no top look, but, I am a glass top guy also. I don't have the luxury of space for an ATO so the glass tops keep my evaporation down to a minimum.
I would like to have glass/acrylic tops as well . My 5 gallon reservoir is out in 3-4 days depending on humidity levels. I didn’t think I would have a rimless tank if I didn’t have 1 of these items installed . Though if I could cut down on my yearly rodi costs if I had a top.I use the glass tops.
Evaporation is about 10 oz a day compared to 3/4 gallon when I had open top on a reefer 450.
Temp went up 2.5 degrees. Heaters barely run anymore. They were running in the summer with the A/C on.
Although they may block some light, the condensation may be diffusing LED lights. Speculation here.
Fish stay in tank!
May not be as prone to airborne contaminents.

You may want a polycarbonate of some sort instead.

That's the plan an ato but does it run into my main tank or my sump?I just got my Artfully Acrylic Top for my new tank ,, if you end up deciding that you want a top for your tank ,, the one they make is the one you want ,, read that part again jmo they make the best top in the hobby right now ,, I see your in Australia ,, that could be problem ,, I am sure they could make it work though before buying this top ,, on my other tanks I would make my own ,, you can buy kits and screen from BRS ,,The only reason you need a top is because of fish wanting to jump out of the tank ,, if your putting fish into your tank that will jump and most will ,, you want a Top ,,
I would never put a solid glass or acrylic top over my tank ,, for a couple of reasons ,, gas exchange & heat issues ,, evaporation is what it is ,, put a Top Off system on your tank ,, if you don't already have one ,,
