Tank cover condensation

Just cut an acrylic cover for my 24g and it instantly accumulated condensation on the underside. Is there a way to resolve this issue? Thank you for all your input.

The only way I know of is to not use an acrylic or glass cover. Maybe you could make a screen one instead.

I recommend using what is know on here as "egg-crate" but is actually a diffuser for a 2'x4' fluorescent light. I t can be easily cut with a side cutters (dikes) and still allows for better oxygen transfer off the surface of the water.

Thank you both for the input. Here is what I did...



I will probably end up switching over to the BRS 1/4" clear screen but this should do for now.
