Comment from : Nikki

Comment from : boy

How much time do you spend doing water changes?
Comment from : Marco Salazar

Can I use that material to divider the aquarium ? Thank you
Comment from : Ederson Santos

Gonna use this idea to make a lid for my 45 gallon thanks
Comment from : SilentDeath1194

Anyone put a PAR meter under this type of lid to see what the loses are compared with glass or regular sheet polycarbonate?
Comment from : Fiziksgeek

WOW!!! Answer to prayer!!! No lie!! I was LOOKING for Aquarium lid DIY suggestions!!! I think this IS IT!! We have a 75 gallon turtle tank We built an above the tank basking station on one side from egg grate and plexiglass panels from a DIY Tutorial that the "Long Live Your Turtle" guy did We covered the other side with a piece of egg crate fitted into the rim It worked great until the cats decided to start laying on top of the egg crate and cracked it I was going to consider something sturdier like metal hardware cloth but I hated the thought of possibly scratching up the metal rim or glass and wasn't sure it that would work That's when I did a tank lid DIY search and found this I'm hopeful to give this solution a try!!! Thanks for your video!!!👍😊
Comment from : Sharon Jones

I know you said you can put your lights on it but the heat from the light will not burn or cause damage to the lid itself?
Comment from : CASA Cichlids

Literally never thought of that im an idiot
Comment from : Titus Postmus

That same thing cost almost $90 today sept 2022 lol
Comment from : Orlando Escobar

love this idea! off to make mine todaywill be way lighter than the glass one i have that doesn't fit properly
Comment from : Rox Mason

What do you think works best to cut the panels into the proper size
Comment from : Texasbiology

awesome, Im headed to home depot!
Comment from : Marcy

Wish I could just buy a decent 75 gallon lid
Comment from : selena Morse

Outstanding! I have a 75 gallon tank and this DIY project not only saved me money on a lid, but also left me with enough extra for more tanks to come I hinged one side and use the same thing for handles Thank you
Comment from : Steve Miller

I was searching for another idea because the cost of acrylic tops for my large aquarium would be insane I’m so happy to see your video Thank you for sharing your idea! I never would have thought to try it…the greenhouse panels look great and are much more affordable Thank you!
Comment from : Rita R

I have Hager lights will this plastic lid let the light flow through to my plants
Comment from : Barbara Blum

really useful
Comment from : RositaPink

Do you cut the filter part around the lid??
Comment from : Idontcarebbk Dafander

yousers!!! So a single panel of that today at Home Depot in Canada is $179 A single Lexan sheet, only 36" x 72" is $322 dollars!!!!!!!! 😵
Comment from : Blair Cox

I wish we had made diy lids sooner
Comment from : Gabby Rocio

Hello from Korea
Comment from : power k

It's called paneling?
Comment from : Tim duenas

Pretty good bub
Comment from : Tim duenas

The silver walls are fine by me I am more interested in the advice Thanks
Comment from : Steve Miller

Does the fish tank temperatures match the temperature that you keep the room? Or does the science work out that you have to keep the room a few degrees warmer to reach the temperature goals of your tanks? Is it more economical to heat this way vs aquarium heaters?
Comment from : Lisa P

Use flexi glass thick dorable and light can go through it better are use glass it makes more sense in the long run
Comment from : Jamie Eisenhower

Thank you
Comment from : Mojave Bohemian

Hey Zenzo, just went to look up those ploy carb sheets, they have doubled in price, now $28 for a 2'x4' sheet
Comment from : David Durocher

Whats the thickness? Thanks
Comment from : mike leonard

I overlooked lids when pricing my rack builds You may have just brought me back into budget! Prices seem to have gone up since you posted this, but still more cost-effective than pre-fabbed lids!
Comment from : Its All A Simulation, Man

$38 inexpensive?
Comment from : Johnson Johnson

Good idea friend
Comment from : UMMA TOYS

does the polycarb affect lighting at all? specifically with plant lights Ive been wanting to set up a planted aquarium but australia evaporates all my water :/
Comment from : Bee

Is there a way to make this home so you can lift up just the top without removing the whole piece like the glass ones work so you can open it and feed them?
Comment from : Dena Price

If used on a large tank (8') will they warp over time?
Comment from : R Sohi

Excellent video quality and sound btw It's almost like you're in the room in front of me lol Great tip using the poly c thanks for that
Comment from : Phil Graham

I make my lids the same way, but I even bought some clear acrylic hinges from Amazon and cut the lid in two and made it so that you can just open it I used a similar 3M adhesive hook as a knob or handle for the side that opens
Comment from : ERIC NEWTON

What’s another way to cut without a table saw? I gave a dremel
Comment from : Aquaman0690

My tank lid snapped in half is it bad if I tape it back together to save it or is that bad
Comment from : Zombitch_Slayer

i have those at my work i was thinking about acrylic sheet but this is so much better
Comment from : WR_Racing

Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't a these lids cut of fresh oxygen to the tank killing fish or stressing them out
Comment from : VitalLongshot

Will this would for heat lamps for an aquatic turtle tank?
Comment from : Samantha Heizer-Metcalf

Would it work on a 250 ?
Comment from : mildred padilla

Whats the background? Super cool
Comment from : Aries Marasigan

How is the light transfer, in you video the tanks that you show with the cover on are dark tanks Would love to see it on that salt tank just to see the light transfer Cool video though been looking for a good material Thank you
Comment from : mkindzerski01

Very helpful thank you! I definitely need an update but can't find the right size
Comment from : Codename: Woof

Does light go throught the polycarbonate panel? I do have a clip-on light but would be interested in getting a lid for the aquarium too brOr do you have any ideas of combining the polycarbonate panel and some lighting ideas?
Comment from : Axel P

This is the hood lid idea I went with Thanks
Comment from : President Elect James H

I know this is late but THANK YOU! 🙏
Comment from : Timothy Andrews

Trying to get some of this plastic I've gone to home depot and lowes, both sold out and cannot order it Anyone know what other stores might have this or similar?
Comment from : J

so does this prevent more vaporization?
Comment from : Danny Calvillo

Do those lids prevent light from penetrating the tank? I have a planted tank
Comment from : Rlhf Jnd

what is this stuff call thx you
Comment from : Russell Keith

I need to do these I'm thinking of something super clear for tanks I have on the ground, but this would work for my sumps and eye level tanks
Comment from : -_-

Yeah not sure if I'm being silly but I have a fluval spec If I cover the little hole will it mean that no air will get in will trouble the fish?
Comment from : 4ndy123

I've watched you maybe a handful of times but sick videos bro definatly earned a sub!!!!
Comment from : DickosReptiles

I cant even buy these locally im in Michigan lol
Comment from : Fonso

Do you also know that according to the specifications THAT COVER BLOCKS UV LIGHT!! It says it right in the descriptionbrbrSo you may be insulating the aquarium but the UV light that's needed for plant growth will be gone brbrI have a full spectrum light which gives off UV according to the specs it's supposed to help plants this cover would stop that
Comment from : muzikmon2267

thank you for sharing
Comment from : Bret Ostendorf

Thanks ! Helped me out a lot It’s hard to find a lid for a 40 breeder
Comment from : REKPVids604

Thanks for the tips bro!
Comment from : Batguti games e unboxings

Will these panels warp over time if used as an aquarium lid? Thanks
Comment from : Under The Bus

Great video
Comment from : C T

Fast forward to 327
Comment from : Tom Smith

I been using this stuff as lids for years Works amazing
Comment from : Amanda Mandigo

Do the polycarbonate lids affect par and light dispersement at all?
Comment from : Mr Stooge

Will this help when I use blue light for coral? It’ll pass through and be fine?
Comment from : Bulc Rac Club

Does this effect light getting through to plants? Will it flex/bow under the heat of LED lights?
Comment from : Steven Wong

Would these work for planted tanks? Does it let enough light in for low to medium light plants?brbrbrThanks!
Comment from : Brad Kohlman

Have you had any problems with those openings in the side of those sheets getting gunk and stuff inside of them?
Comment from : Dustin Martin

Looked like a fridge cracked me up
Comment from : Lori Cooper

Fast forward to 320 It gets you to the point much quickerBut I love the enthusiasm , it’s catching and we learn a bit more
Comment from : Tom Smith

Great DIY video brThank you
Comment from : Raul’s Aquatics and Reptiles

I like the tank lid idea definitely going to use that
Comment from : jeromyg25

Do you find that this double wall polycarbonate warps? I have 1/4” plexiglass on my 44 gallon pentagon that I keep at 84 degrees and it has warped like crazy I have to do something different Thanks!!
Comment from : Kay Sherretts

I use the same stuff and I got a 4' x 8' sheet for $46 I think
Comment from : David Bowman

I haven’t read through comments, but have you noticed if your tanks are darker? Less light penetration
Comment from : David Adkins

Thanks for the post! I was able to make enough lids for three 20-longs, four 5-1/2 gallons, and a 10 gallon, with material left over! That's $4-$5 per lid! I use my circular saw to make the big cuts and a bandsaw for the notches Eight lids for the price of a single 30" glass top! Only other difference is that I cut them so that the ribbing goes lengthwise to the tank Gives me a very nice rounded front edge
Comment from : Bill Smith

Great IdeaI Have an Older Glass 90 Gallon Tank Without a Center Brace so I Just Place a Couple Pieces of Glass Over It But They Don't Fit Right My Question is Will the Polycarbonate Sheets in This Video Work & Will They Eventually Bow in the Middle Without a Brace in the Middle? Thanks
Comment from : Hoffa Oudi

I agree with the others I watch because I like your content and your tanks, I dont care what's on your walls Have your fishroom the way you want it it's yours!
