Make a light and
practical cover for the Aquarium
->☽✧-Δ-✧☾<-
This lid
only costs a few bucks to make and is easy to clean, easy to pack away, and can
be made to fit any tank. Okay I originally shelled out $30 for a glass lid. It
was hard to keep clean, heavy and then would smell. Goldfish can be jumpers so
it’s a good idea to cover the tank (with ventilation of course) when one’s not
around. I have actually seen a goldfish swim upstream and in another instance
up a mini waterfall! I don’t leave the lid on when in the office (where they
reside) because Hendrix likes to do happy tail splashes at the surface or to
spout water out at me for attention or to play. From the Chapter ‘Aquaria’ (Link)

✧☾ What I Used ☽✧
Plastic Peg
baskets from the dollar store
(I used 4 for my 3 foot tank)
Small clear
cable ties
Scissors
Optional –
glass lid stoppers if you don’t have
an inner wedge/rim like mine (only
a few bucks on line)

✧☾ Directions ☽✧
... Using
the rectangles arrange to fit tank layout/top
... Loosely
cable tie inner seams
... Test
lid before fully securing ties together. Keep enough of a loop to be able to
fold the panels either way. Then trim away excess tie tails. Placing lid down
on the tank – put it cable tie tail facing up (you don’t want the fish to
scratch themselves by chance) then cut out allowances for any filter/hoses etc
