Default What do you have over your tank and why do you like it?

What kind of cover do you have on your tank?

I currently have a DIY Mesh top that was done terribly and needs to be replaced. Whats the best route for me to go, and what will let the most light through?

I have 2 kessil a350W LED lamps hanging 1 ft above my aquarium surface.

What kind of tops do you guys use with your light fixtures that let maximum light through and why do you like them?

My self I run full glass tops on all my tanks. I run mental halides on the tanks as well so if there is much light loss it's not a problem. I love the fact that I have very little evaporation loss on my tanks

I have open air. I like the contemporary rimless tanks. I just avoid know jumpers.

I have egg crate over my tank to stop my cats from drinking the water who knew they could process salt water better than fresh water....
