I haven't seen one in person, but have heard some good things about them. They have an option where you can get a feeder cup that drops in to the lid. This should make it easier to defrost/feed frozen food.
No. As I said, several years ago. They're not cheap, but I don't mind paying for quality. As a percentage of the entire reef build cost? A few drops in the barrel ;DDo you remember about how much you paid?
Nice!! Perfect feedback, yeah I can see where a split top would be super handy. Based on what you mentioned I'd go that way for sure. thanks!I have an Octo screen top on my 60" x 30" tank. Exactly what I ordered, came in a reasonable amount of time, as I recall... I've had it for what, 3 years now? Has held up well so far, no problems, no complaints. I hose it off in the shower stall every few months, keep the salt and dust rinsed off. That's about all the maintenance it requires.
If I was going to buy it today, I'd order from Octo again, but I'd likely buy two 30x30 tops rather than a single 60x30. Be right handy to be able to pull half the top at a time.
Not cheap, but you're talking about something you're going to be looking at every day, hopefully for many years.
A fairly recent shot that shows the top fairly well...
What I have due to limited biocube options. They must have had my order already in stock cause I ordered online on a Saturday and it was in the mail on Monday and at my house about 3 days later. No complaints but pricy with shipping and options (feeding cup which I wished I had added).I have been considering a lid from Kraken Reefs.

@ggNoRe why not make a lowes run and buy an 4 x8 piece of green house pc get the circular saw or Stanley knife out and cut it in half, it also diffuses the light better and is a thicker pvc and is porous for gas expansion over the acrylic,glassor plastic lid...they're light cheap and easy to replace... my dad use to use them on his cichlids now I use one on my 75 I bought locally that doesn't have a lidJust want to get opinions on which company to go with in ordering a custom clear lid.
I have seen a few post on this but nothing recent.
The companies I've seen thus far are Octo Lids, Top Lids, and Clear View.
Have a Peninsula tank 60L x 26W from Prostar Aquariums. Any and all opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Made my own ATS, repurposed containers into AWS, etc... Didn’t cost any lesser, but the joy of seeing it working...priceless!Why pay anything over 100$ when you can make your own, better quality for under 50$... I've been fed up with consumerism lately it's like nothing is what it used to be, you go out to eat its garbage, you buy furniture it breaks, you buy clothes they last a week...I dont know about you guys but I've been thinking of my grandma alot lately and its led me on this craftsman kick where I'm building my own furniture,and growing my own vegetables indoor and outdoor and have stopped giving into the idea of consumerism why should we pay more for less it just doesn't make sense to me im quilty of doing it alot... so now I ask myself before I buy anything...is it quality, is it really worth that,can I do it ;make it better myself?where was this made what's it made out of?is it gonna last?...which often leaves me tinkering around being left to my own devices, to devise something quality and cheap at the same time
