Anyone know where to buy lids for acrylic tanks?

[hrdneglcry]

Does anyone know where to buy lids for the openings on acrylic tanks? I had a 60 which had nice lids that fit right into the openings. This tank is a 180 clarity plus and I wondered what the best route is for covering the openings.

If you’re still shopping around I had this person from Etsy make custom lids for all my tanks in the fishroom. They can specify where you want feeding holes or notches cut out.

I bought from him. They worked nice. Not like the OEM but still very nice looking and solid.

If you are handy, you can make a fairly inexpensive one with 1/4” nylon mess and screen frame. I Put this one on to keep the jumpers off the carpet. All parts from Amazon and Lowe’s. Tricky part for me was doing the cut outs for the light fixture stands. Not as sturdy as just a rectangle cut, but works great. I put a hinged front on it for feeding and doing other mc in the tank. I take it off once a week to clean the tank. I hold it in place with clear packing tape on the sides and back. The hinges are acrylic from Amazon. My tank is 72x22.5x24”.
