I'd love to see pics of tanks running with glass tops.
I am starting to plan for a new tank. It is quite an adventure figuring everything out after a ~10-yr hiatus - amazing how much has changed. And it seems like while I was away, the open-top look completely took over. I am prioritizing low-maintenance, low-complexity this time around, but I cannot even find something like the AIO Red Sea Max 250 I last ran (while living abroad) & really liked, because now all the RSMs appear to be topless.
Totally open top isn't a good option for me because I have 3 cats (one of whom is perpetually hungry), plus I am not interested in dealing with the amount of evaporation it would cause.
I've heard/read conflicting reports on whether or not glass tops show significant salt creep and/or collect a ton of condensation. Aesthetics are right up there in priority with low-maintenance, as the setup will be in my dining room, so a dirty/salty top is to be avoided. Thus... I am looking for real-world pics. TIA!
