Yea you’re right. I think this lid was meant more for fresh water fish tanks anyway. Read a couple reviews of people using it on their saltwater tanks and were happy with it. After you guys mentioned magnets then, it dawned on me. Will probably end up going to Home Depot and buying aluminum...

Ah yes, I don’t know if it was on this forum but I remember someone talking about having issues with their tank and couldn’t figure it out why for the longest time. I believe it ended up being a magnetic algae scraper that had a broken seal and was giving them issues. After they removed it from...

It’s an Amazon product. If you enlarge the first photo you can see the description and price of the product was 15.99. https://a.co/d/bgMsQLc Cheap and easy to put together. It will be hard to install on rimless tanks though, but it is possible. The reason being is that the magnetic strip is...

Thanks @jamie I will check them out at AC

Dang it! I don’t know how I missed this in my notifications inbox! This was swooped up fast! Thanks for looking out though. Good luck @Captinn - can’t wait to see what you do with it.

Thanks! Yea Hope I can make the next one!

Thank you. Hahaha! I knew what I was getting into. I meant not spending so much on my first tank to make sure I have enough time to care for it properly. Also wanted the a green light from the wifey to dedicate some space for a larger tank.

He has some great selections!
