That's weird, here's the whole bit....

I made a plexiglass lid for my tank and it was a nightmare. The heat from the tank and the lights (I was running LEDs at the time so not much heat) made the plexiglass bow, and I picked fairly thick plexi. I even reinforced the middle by doubling up a strip and it still didn't help.

The condensation on the underside of the plexiglass looked awful and it made the pH of the tank plummet instantly.

The moment I took the lid off the plexiglass rapidly climbed back to normal.

The idea was born and killed within 48 hours.
