Arowana Tank Covers

[aro-discus]

sorry no pics but this is what I use. 2 shelves upside down on my 180. If you want them super tight then secure them w/ velcro. Found it on sale for only 40 bucks, comes w/ 5 shelves. Eggcrate at my HD was like $20 a sheet, super thin and flimsy looking.

i use HEAVY glass lids. i got them at my LFS, and craig does "clients" tanks with aros. they work great.

If we use a glass lid, then how do we connect canister filter intake and outlet hose ? Iam making a tank now so need this inputs, and in my present tank I had to cut open a space for filters hose.

Came across this because I was searching for better covers... But realised I have an answer for this thread. Use stainless steel mesh covers. I have a write up here: https://arowanaplantedtank.com/2023/03/lightweight-safe-unbreakable-monsterfish-tank-covers/

The stainless steel mesh covers look good. But they are held on with cable ties, which do get brittle in time, and are not permanent.
