TANK TALK: For those of you that have a lid already that's not from Top Lids, how easy or challenging is it for you to keep your lid looking clean and pristine to match the rest of your tank? Reply with your experience for your entry today. (Put your answer in one post for an entry and then post a clear picture in a 2nd post for a 2nd entry.)
All my kids are a mess. In fact, the only one still on a tank is my Betta tank.

So desperate!!

Seapora 80 gallon rimless with corner overflow. I have light mounts, an over the back return pipe and the corner over flow (which has proven to be the most challenging to troubleshoot), with a DIY screen. It’s only 16” tall so not much room for jumpy fish. Currently only has a Foxface. Would love to add more fish.

Yes my new tank on the left (waterbox frag 105.4) next to current tank on the right. Slowly chipping away getting equipment etc but will need a lid too. IMG_4494.jpeg

This is an aqueon 20L, we could definitely use a lid for this sucker! So much dust and dog hair gets around it it’s ridiculous lol. Plus I’d be nice to have reassurance on fish not carpet surfing

Have not needed a lid so far. But I want one for my main display when I setup next month.

Ah yes lifting up the corner of my lid to feed the fish, only for the other corner to crash into the water. Set it back on the edge..... now water is running down the side of the tank. So kinda challenging, and pretty annoying!

I got this tank second hand, i think he made the lid out of window screen frame and all.

I printed a feeder tube for my pellet auto feeder. The pellets usually fall through the tube. I'm considering a redesign to make it work better but haven't yet.

Official entry: I have a xl200 office tank with an old eheim auto feeder and no lid. It's been keeping me from adding some fish as I have no lid on this one. The avast feeder and Top Lids would really help as I have to do a lot of traveling due to aging family. I have a mixed tank mainly lps and sps.

This is my ugly screen lid that's rusting, the challenge making it was keeping it from flexing.

Feeding through my scissor cut holes in the screen and having a spot for the mangroves and gyre cords.

It's ugly but works , definitely need to get a new one.
