Lid

[kiwis]

I have a glass lid to my tank, It get s a lot of condensation on it which i think impacts the light going onto my corals.

What else would I use to cover it so fish don't get out

A screen top with clear netting. They have kits available from various online vendors, or you can DIY with supplies from the hardware store - the clear netting may be hard to find locally. This type of top can significantly increase the evaporation rate of your tank - depending on your setup and the relative humidity of your house. Good luck!

There are also several suppliers that make really nice lids. I got mine from Toplids and am very happy with them. This is mine before I removed the clear protective film from them.

Marine depot, BRS, Red Sea and several others sell DIY kits and just the mesh.

You can buy screen and frame stock at Home Depot and make your own size.

Anodized aluminum window screen frame from HD/Lowes (don't forget the plastic corner pieces) and 1/4" clear or black mesh from BRS. You can have tops DIY'd in all of 15 minutes.
