LF acrylic and someone to cut it

[Koddie Doo]

I need some black acrylic and someone to cut something to cover this:

I am tired of light going down the overflow and water splashing on my cover.

Can you help?

I might be able to help if you get me measurements.

That would be awesome,

It is a perfect 1/4 circle and is 7 7/16ths radius. If the acrylic is 1/4" or less than these are good measurements. Otherwise it would need to sit on top of my rim.

Use tinted Lexan. Acrylic will bend with the humidity and heat unless it's somehow supported by some kind of back structure. Even 1/2" will bend.

...and water splashing on my cover.

Is the splashing from the overflow or the return?
Why not also lower the water level in the overflow...

ABS is good also.

I'm trying to avoid salt creep from both my return in my overflow i guess, if I drop the water level it will get a louder. There is a hole in the elbow of my return to relieve water siphoning back in to my sump.

Are these both readily available?

They should be. You won't find them at Home Depot in black. If Kegogut does not have them look up JBC Plastics. Tell them BK sent you.
