NEED REALLY NICE LID

[TOMACONDA]

72x30 x 24 looking for best custom lids?

Is plexi. Or acrylic a fine option ?

anyone point me in right direction as to where to order a super nice piece

Did the old wire mesh DIY lid which works for now but it’s clunky and not great

 

[fishguy242]

heard good things about Kraken...

 

[Gumbies R Us]

Look into kraken lids! Those are nice lids

 

[VintageReefer]

Do you want solid or mesh?

 

[MR294]

Another vote for Kraken, very happy with my lid.

 

[Kraken Reef]

When looking for a lid, make sure it is made from polycarbonate, not acrylic. If acrylic is used for this purpose, it will warp very quickly.

maybe a mixed of both!!

doesn't seem like kraken carries a 72x30 for a custom Planet Aquarium lid

Thats a Great point it could be in to three sections

Thank you I just reached out

You’re welcome. I have a kraken and not super happy. The mesh is like fishing line and yea it’s probably fine for most people but I like to rest stuff in top when doing maintenance and it sags and I feel won’t last long.

I got full polycarbonate lid from Walter for my 75g tank. He uses holes instead of mesh for ventilation. I got to customize how many rows and where I wanted them. He built the lid 100% to my spec for my 75g tank. 90$

Now I have a plank im hooking up and need a feed port, I’m having my right panel recreated with the custom cutout for the plank. 40$

Your tank is much larger so expect prices to scale upwards but I can tell you custom lids from other companies were over double the price

Aren't all the major lid makers using the same mesh?

 

[TX_REEF]

Agree, @Kraken Reef makes the nicest looking lids with a combo of mesh and acrylic.

Who knows. I don’t like it for numerous reasons
