The plastic egg crate! Took forever to find it, but I finally found a home depot in my area that carries it. They also carry T-5 fixtures :headbang2

I am super excited about both!

I love how easy it is to work with and how tight I was able to make it around my hoses.

Sweet, I walked around lowes today for at least 30 minutes looking for that crap, finally found it too:nilly:

I hadn't thought about using it like that...I have it covering the bottom of my tank to distribute the weight of rocks, and I have it at the back of my 20gal sealing the holes around the hob filter.
 
Lucky, no lowes in my area carries it.

And glad I could plant some idea! Its by far the cheapest stuff I could find to use as a hood. I might find some thin plexi glass though just to tone down the evaporation.
 
Glad u mentioned the evaporation issue. Was my first thought. But otherwise great idea for top
 
yeah i go to home depot and lowes a lot for my tank suplies
 
could you tell me what isle it was in lol. i know all the stores are different but if you could tell me in what area of the store it would be in that would be great.
 
I found it with the ceiling tiles, in my store it happened to be the far back left corner, near the lumber & masonry supplies. I thought it would have been in with the lighting, but luckily I had my phone and was able to google up somebody asking the same question and saw someone else had found it with the ceiling tile....lo and behold...

The lid thing: Right now I've got glass that leaves about a 2-3 inch gap at the back and has the little flex divider thing so you can open it at the front...one piece is broken on the back corner and it was clearly cut to accomodate HOB filters in the first place. I think eventually I'll just get new pieces cut that don't leave such a gap, or possibly even custom cut to only leave space for the filters I use...I dunno:nilly: its low priority right now either way.
