Good Covers for RSR XL 425 and 350?

Hey guys,

I’m going to have a Red Sea Reefer XL 425 and another 350 soon and I was trying to find a cover or top. I have two Kessil A360-WEs on each and my goal is to keep jumpers from getting out and also to help prevent evaporation.

I think glass would be pretty cumbersome and acrylic would probably be ideal from a handling / fragility standpoint.

Any recommendations on covers for these tanks?

I'm pretty happy with my Artfully Acrylic lid.
It will help keep jumpers in, but do nothing for evaporation.
But a ATO will help with that.

I understand the concern about jumping, but why get a rimless tank if you're going to cover it?

I don't mind a cover, I hate the bracing .

I hate losing fish more than the look of a cover.
