covering the tank

[Delphinus]

After I wrote that the thought occured to me (ow, I hate it when that happens, btw ;) ) that maybe you are running a sumpless system and that's why an auto-topoff isn't so lucrative an option?

If so ... let me just say, go get a sump. You will not regret the effort and aggravation of installing it, I promise you. With a sump, you can do all sorts of things (like a DIY water topoff reservoir), and it doesn't matter how ugly it is, it will be nicely hidden from the display. Best single investment I ever made, going from sumpless to ... um .. well, whatever the opposite of sumpless is (sumped? sumpful? hmm)

I'd even put a sump on my freshwater tank if I were to go back and do it all over again. Man, what I wouldn't give for a topoff system on that tank. Oh well.

If you DO have a sump ... well then ignore this babbling, and go get a water topoff system already!!! :D
