Tank lid

[Reefchef]

Ok everyone, I need your advice. I have to order a lid for my red sea 750xxl, which one would you all recommend. Please let me know what you think, thanks.

Octo aquatics or
Clearview lids - previously artfully acrylics I think. -
Tsunami or pisces exodus?

What is the purpose of the lid? Have you considered your own DIY screen top; we had a great thread on the topic not too long ago.

Thank you Andrew, I just checked it out plus watched a few you tube videos. I'll try that, it's a lot cheaper then the others I listed! It looks pretty easy, we'll see I tend to over think things a lot!

I used the Red Sea DIY kit for my tank. 1/4" netting if that matters to you.

FYI - I've had fish find their way through 1/4" netting. I seriously thought there was no way that fish could be unlucky enough to be such a perfect shot to be able to leap right through - but it did.

I've gone to 1/8" netting purchased from BR now and have not had anything jump since.

I also used the Red Sea DIY kit for a 750xxl and a 525xl

I'll give you guys a good laugh for the morning! So I got the red sea kit, I started putting it together. I finished the front, left, and rear then at one point during this time I realized I only bought one zig zag kit but I have two light arms!!!‍ so now im waiting on the second kit so I can finish it, plus I saw one guy add a feeding door to his so im thinking of doing the same.

i would love to see how he did the feeding door. a quick google search didn't turn up much of anything useful for DIY
