Lids for the 210

[Irecruitfish]

I'm looking for budgetary lids in the past I use polycarbonite plastic and then I just cut it up accordingly.

Don't get me wrong I would love glass but looking online it's way too expensive.

The only plans I'll have in here are anubias otherwise I don't need any special lighting.

I came across this product Will this work as well?

LEXAN 16 in. x 48 in. Clear Polycarbonate Shelf Liner (4-Pack) LWS1648-4 - The Home Depot

Lexan polycarbonate shelf liners are designed for maximum strength needed for organization of small cans, cartons and other products that tend to fall over on typical metal wire shelves. Being made from

The polycarbonite that I kept coming across was corrugated so I didn't really like that look but if that's the best option I'll go with that again.

The corrugated is your best option. If you can find a free acrylic tank that is not structurally sound you could cut it up for lids. Leaky glass tanks?

Irecruitfish , I think the product you linked to would be too thin for lids.

What about 4mm thick twinwall polycarbonate sheet? Normally used for greenhouse roofs.

Oh that's a solid option will keep an eye out

I used the stuff you linked and it sags, especially if you lay a light across the top. The corrugated stuff holds up much better due to its design

I bought mine over 10 years ago from Greenhouse Megastore online when they were still offering the 4mm sheets in a 2 foot wide x 4 foot long 4-pack, unfortunately they don't offer that option anymore.

And WOW the price has really gone up for these products! The link to the options are Easy ship twinwall polycarbonate but they are out of stock on some thicknesses.

Nice this price is not too bad from what I'm seeing out there. I'm actually headed to home Depot now to see what they might have in stock.
