here's the tank cover AA made (peel still on).. I wasn't expecting it to be solid. thought it would have some netting. but I guess I didn't make it clear enough during instructions either so eh.. tank is already running at 83 degrees today. without house AC or any chiller. I think a full cover will be too much. these can be winter covers.. the little pop ups are for mounting my APEX night light LEDS. also comes with a spot for APEX autofeeder. side gaps are to fit the sea swirls

thanks. I'm going to do measurement again and talk with artfully acrylic. I was going for them last time but John convinced me he can make nice tops. This top looks like it was made in 10 minutes..

I was disappointed with my artfully acrylic cover. For the price I paid it look not finish and raw still had shavings attach from the machining. But it does its job in keeping my sons hands and whatever he can from getting in the water.

Is there a nicer option though? I am really happy with mine. Much cleaner than any DIY or manufactured aquarium screen cover.

I just found this thread, I bet that the solar panels said Damn when they saw that tank.

started carbon and gfo today. Trying out the Next Reef reactor. cool little toy.
water pumps in from the bottom, pushes out from the top and overflows around the edges. The base is a little bigger so you can place the reactor next to a wall and water won't flow out of sump.
the flaw.. hard to clean the dry carbon at first. and the entire reactor depends on 2 small 3mm o rings. lose either o-ring and the whole thing falls apart. and I don't think tumbling is possible..
also starting a little Star Wars rock.. death star & ATAT coming up
