What to use for lid?

rfdoc · 09/17/2007, 01:31 PM

I have a spare 15 gallon tank I want to use to store spare saltwater in, but I don't have a lid for it. Is there something cheap and easy I can use (other than buying the full blown hood and light fixture to go with it) to cover this so the water doesn't evaporate from it?

A glass top for about $10 can be found at your LFS. If it's a standard 15 gal. the top for a 10 gal. will work.

I just bought a piece of acrylic at HD or Lowes and cut it to size. don't remember price, but it was cheap because I made 2 or 3 lids for refugium and sump.
