Lids for Rubbermaid stock tanks?

I know there are many out there who use this.

Does anyone use a lid with it? Does Rubbermaid make them? If not and you use one, what do you use?

I'm rearranging my water storage area (currently using 32 gal cans, plus PH and heater) and I'd like to start using the stock tank instead, but I really do need a lid for it to keep out the nasty bits.

I was considering making one if they don't carry them since I'm in a DIY kind of mood lately - maybe a piece of plywood or acrylic and glue an O ring of some sort down to help seal it better.

Lids, anyone?

Are you using this to make water for a WC? If so you need to make sure you remove the lid and properly oxygenate the water at least 24 hrs prior. I have never seen a lid for that type. You will prob have to make one from acrylic.
