Dust in the tank

[R_sustaita]

Home depot will cut it to size for you... only thing is, last time I checked the only do 1/8" which bows on longer tanks

it would be ona 48 in long 75g tank so each cover would be about 22in

[R_sustaita]

what type of glass did u see last time i looked the peices were really thin

its for a cover man, they dont have to be that think. i jsut want them to stop some of the evaporation and stop my nephews from feeding and placig toys in the tank.

Yea just go to your local glass store and get some 1/4 inch thick

Yea I would be careful of the glass bowling and then just break

Aquarium World on 290 has the hinges. Be careful with what thickness you get for the glass. They make them to fit 1/8" & 3/16" glass. I would get 3/16" glass.

They also sell the little handles on eBay that sticks to the glass to open it.

on my 125 g i have 2 spray bars on it for the top water agitation and theres still dust that stays on the top

[Ballinxalex]

even with surface agitation there will always be a dead spot where the top film will accumulate unless u have a overflow that fill filter the top of the water

[R_sustaita]

a little dust should bother them. some of them their actual habitat is mud

Another idea, is to put a good powerhead in the tank with a jet to disrupt the surface agitation and keep the dirt from making a film on the top. Or lower ur water level a lil so ur filters can stir up the dirt and suck it up thru the intakes. But +1 on tops

I've got an AC110 that is doing that, but I still know the dust is getting in there and I figure that's not good for the fish.
