    What or how do you cover the top of your tanks? I have a tank without lamps and wanna cover it to prevent dust and reduce evaporation. Are there ready made covers or I need to diy something myself? What are your suggestions? TIA.

    Getting ready made covers would be quite a task cos the size may not be suitable. The best option would be DIY or get someone to make one for you like wat Simon has pointed out.
    BTW, is it that dusty? A skimmer can settle that problem easily. Wat kinda tank is it without lights?
    Cheers!!

    Hi Sherchoo, I found a framemaker shop at Sungai Rd which sells perspex/plexiglass for what I need at a very reasonable price. I jus need a couple of strips that covers the top with some ventilation and space for the tubes to go in to the tank. Not sure if the stips will sag in the middle after a while. My tank is 3 ft long.

    I am keeping the tank at my balcony where it is very windy and bright. It is a bare tank and doesnt need any lights since I have a light at the balcony too.

    The tank is not facing direct sunlight, dunno how long the perspex strips will last tho. I guess they will turn yellow after a while. Problem is they sag in the middle. Just got them this afternoon and they do the job required. Thanks guys.
