And you just need to bend a small flange if you want to stiffen up a long edge. I have made all kinds of things for my sump, incl a filter sock holder, and other stuff.
For a tank your size, it shouldn't cost you more than 30 bucks. Then you have a better top than anything you could make out of mesh or egg crate. Plus great light transmission, and reduced heat and water loss. And no more fish loss.

An 18"x24" retails for $33 which won't fit my tank (mine is 30" long).
But I was wondering, won't it have the same problem as glass tops? Like salt creeps and get dirty?
