Ghetto Lid

[hiimsean]

My tank is now fish safe I was having fits using the screen frame DIY lid so I improvised. It's pretty tight despite the picture. I think the adhesive part will hold long term and provides pretty easy access to the tank, a little more work than a framed top.

Definitely.. I always forget because I use it on my fish only tank and lights pretty much a non issue.

Good point.

its not bad at all. its a little more than just lifting up a lid but give me piece of mind keeping fish in

I like it, and definitely serves a purpose. Sometimes, image is overrated.
