instead of glass covers, use a flexible net held down with (I don't have the correct english term but they look like those little clips you use when you hang clothes on a line and are used to keep 2 pieces of wood together as the glue hardens).. that is what I do.. the net absorbs the power without harming the aro..

damn it.. I had to use more words to explain a little piece of plastic with a spring in it than I had to explain what I was trying to get across..

Is this to keep the aros from jumping(which is not likely to happen) or to keep the aros in the tank when they do jump?

Best to have a pliable top that keeps them in but gives to absorb some of the impact to reduce injury. Question is can this be made and still be practical

everyone said to pad the lid, but what can u use? foam or a sponge like material will soak up water and fungus and mold will grow on it

you can use the material they use to isolate piping (hot/cold water).. it works just fine!
