dont you think the plexi will be kind of expensive? and also something that size will hang down. i have acrylic covers for the tank already. do you think i can just use those? i would want to get glass ones because these morph with the evaporation. and for the mangrove things yea ill try that tomorrow. i have one tree that reaches the surface so ill just do it with the other 4.

get a p[iece of styro and cut hole and leave the roots submersed till they grow large enough,
for the light get a large piece of lexi and add a space between it and the heat shield and the will help protect from splash's, fish will and can make a splash and 1 drop of water is enough to shorten light fixture out

2" spacers and drill holes in plexi put spacer between heatsink and plexi can space them every foot or so , then will be no sag, and after all you spent now a little more to be safe is better then burning fixture up

so thats why theres such a big swing but the fish it usually goes from 70 the lowest to 77 the highest i know its bad but ill be moving in there soon so that will stop.

As long as you're explained this to the fish, I'm sure they'll understand ...you're not really trying to kill them, you're just in a rush!

look at the graph lol, i know there was a big rise before Fortunato gave me the fish but then after that it stayed around 75 because my dad told me i left the heat on overnight so now im just keeping it on.

I can make you custom plexi glass covers. You saw when you came over how clean cut they are.
