Comment from : Miranda Patterson

Just remember you need a gap for gas exchange, you can have a feeding hole, and a grill over it if your fish jump, but it can’t be tight
Comment from : DAN T

Love it I’m going to make it ❤
Comment from : Patricia

Cool idea The lid would be unstable though resting on top vs in the groove
Comment from : Socrates 98

Comment from : Melody McKay

I did the same build the hinges start to rust from the evaporation / calcium in the water ,good luck
Comment from : Gold

I purchased corrugated board The board is constructed like cardboard in that there are spaces between the two layers If yours is similar how do you manage moisture build up? I’m considering sealing the edges with silicone
Comment from : Lauren Weber

How much did you pay for a sheet of this? A 48 inch by 24 inch is almost 300 us dollars at the hardware store 😂
Comment from : Juans Hobbies

cheap? $194 for a 4 x 8 sheet here at home depot
Comment from : ZigZag_ILV

Any problems with your lid so far? I can see algae growing within the void spaces of the polycarbonate sheet if you don’t seal off the ends
Comment from : Jeff Stahl

I like it, It's not heavy, it shouldn't bow with the piano hinge on it brI have a glass lid on my 75 gal & it's so heavy & easy to break,brbrI'm going to see if I can find a small sheet of it for my tank & get brrid of this 1 I have, I'm trying to find a way to cover a stock tank brto keep the evaporation down, just not sure how to do thatbr(if any 1 has any ideas please hit me up) thank you

Comment from : nick smith

If you want it actual glass your local glass cutter can do it for cheap, the one in my town cut the glass for my lid for 10$
Comment from : shanks

This is the style lid I was hoping to build! I wanted a hinge on mine but thought I would be stuck with a plastic hinge! Thank you so much!!
Comment from : SF 21

This looks very nice Very nice, helpful tutorial Thank you!
Comment from : Julia Heinritz

Doesn’t this kind of lid cause suffocation incase there is a power failure and no atmosphere oxygen can enter water

Comment from : M29WeaselDriver

Can I use polycarbonate lid for a turtle tank? I suppose I’d need to drill little holes in it so the turtle gets oxygen lol
Comment from : Kenny Berwager

Great job 👏 I’ll do the same for my 55 g
Comment from : Rafi Hanna

How easy to cut this board? Because I have a bowfront tank that has curves around Thank you again for ur video
Comment from : Mimi T

Comment from : Ziva marie Diva

Beautiful Lid Started building my 75 gal when one of my light fell in the tank today I was think about lids when i saw this video doing this tomorrow
Comment from : Roc Socom

Can you do this with acrylic?
Comment from : Mackenzie Morgan

Great idea, but how do you a lid having to buy a full sheet of polycarbonate at $60 per sheet
Comment from : Richard Zubroff

What brand of tank is your fish tank? It sort of looks like my 75 gallon marineland tank
Comment from : Kathleen Monsegue

I think I have found a project for today
Comment from : Eric Farley

Great video! Thanks
Comment from : August Duwell

I was searching forever a custom made tank cover - now this is THE solution! Thanks a lot Cheap and got a personal touch on the tank On lighting, was wondering if it would be better to just put in the light on top of this board or need to have a gap or use the light stand
Comment from : Verge Gamotan

iv just made a lid but i think im going to drop my led tank light level with the top of the tank and have a space for it to stick through the lid instead of firing at the top of the lid and bouncing lots of light all around my room
Comment from : BiggerBlader

Thanks good job will be doing this on my tank
Comment from : Mark Powel

Making these today! It’s been impossible to find a lid for my tank this is perfect
Comment from : Dawn Marti

Very clean ingenuity✅ I will definitely use your video for my 125 gallon tankthank you great video that helped me save money
Comment from : Brigg Johnson

this rules! thank you for the idea!
Comment from : Ichabod

Comment from : MadHatter Jones

Comment from : MadHatter Jones

Comment from : Champion Lim

Comment from : Rick Springer

Comment from : christian hirata

Comment from : Brian Spencer

Thank you, I’m planing on doing this!!!!
Comment from : BoniBoni

These lids cover the whole tank Doesn't this cause problems as no fresh air can get in? Oxygen exhange with the water
Comment from : bigbotno1

I made same but used self adhesive silicone hinges
Comment from : SLAM BOY

Comment from : Mary Paige Flynn

Very nice, Ryo!! I'll be referring to this video when its time for another lid!
Comment from : BJ Palmer

Nice, thanks!
Comment from : Bizzell Custom Works

Well done , good job !
Comment from : Harry Me

It would be more minimal and flush looking if you remove the handle knobs and drill a hole big enough for a finger or two This would work as a recessed handle
Comment from : Tech Monky

Hi Ryo, would this work with thicker, 8mm pc sheets?
Comment from : Kim

do the Polycarbonate board cut down on the light ? I have a High Light planted tank and really really hate the glass top
Comment from : Andy Muntz

Amazing 👏👌!!
Comment from : Gabriela Lima Silva

Nice!!! great tip!
Comment from : Bucky DoeDowner

I just got a new 20 gallon high tank, i wish i would have done it this way! I bought some flat polycarbonate sheets on amazon to make a cover, but your totally right, they droop in the middle due to how thin they are I tried to find some of the corrogated sheets but i just can't seem to find them
Comment from : Cody Thomas

Nice work 👌
Comment from : Marcel Van Mechelen

Hi Ryo ,, 👋 I didn't know that you are my kind of DIY ,, loved the video ,, 👍 and a quick question ,, what should I do when the fertilizer completely depletes in the amazonia aqua soil ,, ?? How can I keep my plants healthy without adding root tabs ,, Cause that's expensive hear in India 😒 Tel me more about your aquarium maintenance
Comment from : joshuas creatives

Good job on the lids and light! Only thing I would suggest is drilling 1/8" holes every 6" or so across the back of those lids to help the gas/air exchange on the tank Rummynose and rainbows, a few longfin ancistrus and maybe some Cory's would be ideal for that tank
Comment from : Zimms Aquatics & Hobbies

The lids are perfection, great video, thanks 👌🏼
Comment from : Jason Andino

So when will you add products to it? Nice lighting, always good to have plenty of light
Comment from : UNUSUAL AQUARIUM ECOSYSTEMS

This ones helpful sadly my tank is rimless
Comment from : Stefano Gerard Valdepeña

Nice one, Ryo San Something I would love to do for my tanks, but the polycarbonate sheets cost more than the price of a 60 litre tank here in the UK
Comment from : Major Bruster

Dude, looks good
Comment from : Nanette Lai

will these lids affect the led light performance on planted tank plant growths?
Comment from : kevin916587

Nice efficient design! Thanks for sharing
Comment from : Master Photographer

Hey Ryo have a good weekend
Comment from : Patricia Kimyean Wong

These are great! I used the same material but mine don't look nearly as professional Well done! Now I'm headed for a re-do with this method! Nifty :)
