If you decide to make your own, like I said it’s super cheap, use 1/4” screen. You can get it at brs, Home Depot will not have itOk thank you so very much, I really appreciate your help
I got a call from these guys last night with my quote. Super nice guy but a little too expensive for me. And Utah address but I got a phone call from clearview FL…
Hey @sassyfish this is Tyler with Top Lids. Thanks for asking, yes we moved last year from Utah to Florida and Google Business is kind of being difficult in allowing us to change our address lol. Our new shipping address is located below, and feel free to reach me directly with any questions at 727-404-4952
When a small company does not put up an address, its because they are usually working from home, which is nothing wrong with that. Many people worked from home to develop a product before they made it to the corporate world. Apple and Microsoft are a great example.
Yeah man this is very true. It's where we started back in 2018, just a hobby business. Quickly morphed into something bigger and now we have a staff of 7. Just put some more info on our team up on the website this morning, can check out the homepage and scroll to the bottom to read more on who is behind making our lids.
Top lids is now located in Florida. I ordered a lid for my water box reefLX320 from them. The ordering process is interesting. I emailed for a quote, Tyler called and went over what I wanted and gave a quote. Expensive? Yes. But I’d rather that than finding fish on the floor. After deciding to go ahead with it, you measure your tank and take pics. You will get a link after payment to the software, plug in your numbers add your photos. In a few days you’ll get an email with drawing of your lid with measurements. remeasure to check that everything is right, at this point you can make changes. Once you approve it, lid gets cut and you will get photos of your lid. I’m at that point now. Lid should be shipped in about 2weeks. I started the process the beginning of March. When it’s here I’ll post photos. I also have a clear view lids on a 70 gallon cube. either lid was around the same price wise, but top lids was a much easier ordering process.
Great explanation of our order process for our custom lids, thanks for posting, and yes your lid is still right on schedule Have a line of standard lids coming out that require no measuring from clients, just order and send. Will have much lower lead time and available now for certain Waterbox Marine X, Reef, and Frag sizes. More tanks to be added in the coming weeks. Think it'll help yall out that want a more basic professional lid that's created and backed by us
@oreolk Thanks for the shoutout Lori, glad to see another Reef LX 320.7 happy camper :) Yes you should see about 60-70% evap reduction on this tank size with your evap covers. Would be interested if could share some informal tests here of the differences before and after in this regard.
️ If ya need anything you know where to find us!
Yo @thatmanMIKEson nice to meet you man :) And yessir we've heard that from a few clients. Nothing at all wrong with DIY screens. They do a great job actually for many clients, but yes they are made of aluminum and although they are water and corrosion resistant, there's not really a piece of metal that you can have saltwater on 24/7 that will not potentially leech something over time. That's just what clients smarter than us have said (a few are chemists or in manufacturing).
