Best screen lids

Chlorinated · Feb 11, 2021

Looking for a screen lid with feed door for a Nuvo 20.

I know about Octo lids and Kraken.

Any others I should explore? Experiences with ones you prefer?

Thanks!

I got mine from Clearview lids for my IM 30 L and I got a feed door.

You do have to assemble it yourself.
One of the main things I like about it, is the frame doesn't require the little plastic/acrylic clips to hold it flush with the top of the tank.

Why is there so much acrylic and less netting? Looks like lots of condensation on the underside like you would get with a glass lid.

Are they all made that way?

The tank is acrylic with 4 holes. The netting is for the 2 larger holes. The back holes are super small so netting not really possible. I think the condensation is from my old lid that was solid acrylic. The picture was taken the day I received the new lids.
