need advice on diy aquarium tank cover?
i have metal halides on my tank and i need a cover for my tank so my fish won't jump out. what should i use? i need something that can with stand a lot of heat. and that light can penetrate through. any advice will be greatly appreciated
For metal halides the most commonly used cover is light diffusion grid, or eggcrate . Here is a pic of it. http://www.lightingdiffusers.com/Store/ProductDetail.asp?sku=EP-050-24 There is an up and down side to this stuff. One side has a larger opening than the other side. you want the large up and the smaller down.
You can not use glass or acrylic on a tank with halides as this type of a lid would deprive the tank of oxygen and cause huge temperature issues as well.
Another method I have seen is to use what is called hardware cloth. You need to build a frame for this stuff and paint it with an oil based paint to stop rust, but it will not cause you any light loss to the tank, even the light diffusing grid will cut down some light.
I personally have never used a lid, there only a few fish that are known to jump, Wrasses and firefish are the common ones. If you have a canopy then a cover really is not needed, were will the fish go? they cant get out so they just end up back in the tank.
