sounds like a splash zone lol

well only one section is going to have the egg crate and thats where the overflow will be. other two sections should be covered by glass. but ima talk to trop aquarium and how much it is to order new glass tops.

probably around $40, thats what vinnie quoted me for my 150. I have acrylic tops on there right now. Theyre kinda light and my biggest arowana was able to knock it off and jump out over winter break when i went on vacation for 3 days.

ooo ok. do your aros jump alot? and is 40 dollars for the whole tank? or was it 40 for each panel?
 
$40 for the whole thing, they used to because I had 3 Pacus with them and they would freak them out. They've been pretty calm lately unless you wear a bright shirt and start dancing infront of their tank.

oh ok. 40 for the whole thing sounds just right. hopefully i can start building my sump ASAP lol.
 
if you have those plastic tops drill a hole on the door part and a hole on the rim and just use a lock and keep it in to hold it in place?

well i plan on using egg crate to cover my tank so i need something good to weigh it down. velcro and a weight on each end sounds good.

eggcrate on aro tank = cut up/scarred aros, lots of evaporation, splashes....
