Top lids question

@sassyfish rather lengthy interview with Top Lids. Has a long intro. I plan to order from them.
Thank you and yes they have beautiful lids, and I’d love to have onejust would like to know more about them. Giving a credit card these days you need to know where the business is located. However like I said they would have been my first choice

Wow that lid is amazing
 
Wow, thank you so very much. i Just didn’t understand why no information it’s available. Thanks again

Thank you so very much. I’ll have to call and see what they say
I got a call from these guys last night with my quote. Super nice guy but a little too expensive for me. And Utah address but I got a phone call from clearview FL…
 
I’ve read that they make wonderful lids for tanks. However there is no information online about where they are located. Has anyone bought one, and did they have any problems getting it. Just a little nervous when there is no address when giving a credit card. When you click on facebook on the About Us it just spins. I’d really love to have one if anyone has any information.
Hey @sassyfish this is Tyler with Top Lids. Thanks for asking, yes we moved last year from Utah to Florida and Google Business is kind of being difficult in allowing us to change our address lol. Our new shipping address is located below, and feel free to reach me directly with any questions at 727-404-4952

New Top Lids Address: 611 South Fort Harrison Ave, Suite 105, Clearwater, FL 33756

May I ask …. What is your reason for a lid ?

some great dyi screens to keep fish in that also look great .
I personally . Don’t like lids .
1) they reduce evaporation but has so many cons weighing against them .

increased temperature , decreased gas exchange which also effects ph .
Constantly wiping salt creep off of the lid .
 
Wow, thank you so very much. i Just didn’t understand why no information it’s available. Thanks again
When a small company does not put up an address, its because they are usually working from home, which is nothing wrong with that. Many people worked from home to develop a product before they made it to the corporate world. Apple and Microsoft are a great example.

Yeah man this is very true. It's where we started back in 2018, just a hobby business. Quickly morphed into something bigger and now we have a staff of 7. Just put some more info on our team up on the website this morning, can check out the homepage and scroll to the bottom to read more on who is behind making our lids.

Hope it helps you guys

Top lids is now located in Florida. I ordered a lid for my water box reefLX320 from them. The ordering process is interesting. I emailed for a quote, Tyler called and went over what I wanted and gave a quote. Expensive? Yes. But I’d rather that than finding fish on the floor. After deciding to go ahead with it, you measure your tank and take pics. You will get a link after payment to the software, plug in your numbers add your photos. In a few days you’ll get an email with drawing of your lid with measurements. remeasure to check that everything is right, at this point you can make changes. Once you approve it, lid gets cut and you will get photos of your lid. I’m at that point now. Lid should be shipped in about 2weeks. I started the process the beginning of March. When it’s here I’ll post photos. I also have a clear view lids on a 70 gallon cube. either lid was around the same price wise, but top lids was a much easier ordering process.

Great explanation of our order process for our custom lids, thanks for posting, and yes your lid is still right on schedule Have a line of standard lids coming out that require no measuring from clients, just order and send. Will have much lower lead time and available now for certain Waterbox Marine X, Reef, and Frag sizes. More tanks to be added in the coming weeks. Think it'll help yall out that want a more basic professional lid that's created and backed by us

Hope this helps and any questions welcome

woohoo! My lid from top lids came today, It was well packaged. I must admit I was a little nervous about it fitting correctly. I didn't trust my measurements. But it was spot on . Am I a happy customer? Absolutely! It didn't take as long as I thought it would, began the process on March 9 and placed on tank today April 21. I ordered it with the evaporation lids and I am happy to see that there are still considerable openings for gas exchange. Yes, they are a bit pricey, but what in this hobby isn't?
I am very pleased, Tyler and Top Lids did a great job!

@oreolk Thanks for the shoutout Lori, glad to see another Reef LX 320.7 happy camper :) Yes you should see about 60-70% evap reduction on this tank size with your evap covers. Would be interested if could share some informal tests here of the differences before and after in this regard.

Enjoy your lifetime of protection ☔️ If ya need anything you know where to find us!
 
@Top_Lids I'm looking into your lids now :) they look great and I love the responses from you on here! Your Fl residents now a as a bonus!

I worry about putting aluminum screens from h.d near or on top of a saltwater aquarium, I wouldn't do it, but hey different strokes

Anyone else have any pictures of your "top_lids" thank you for your pictures @oreolk !

Yo @thatmanMIKEson nice to meet you man :) And yessir we've heard that from a few clients. Nothing at all wrong with DIY screens. They do a great job actually for many clients, but yes they are made of aluminum and although they are water and corrosion resistant, there's not really a piece of metal that you can have saltwater on 24/7 that will not potentially leech something over time. That's just what clients smarter than us have said (a few are chemists or in manufacturing).

Sure man if you send over your tank type I can shoot over some examples pics here. Otherwise we have a large gallery on our website toplids.com

Talk with ya soon brother
