3. Will your lids hold the weight of a cat?

Depends on how fat your cat is.  NO lid is guaranteed to hold a cat.  I have made modifications to reduce the chances of a cat falling through the netting, which entails using more plastic and less netting.

i had the pleasure of being hired for a lid job by i had the pleasure of being hired for a lid job by the edisto beach state park in south carolina. this is on their touch tank located at the environmental learning center. stop by if you’re in the area.
⁣

I’ve been making plastic mesh screen tops BEFORE ANYONE ELSE!  I use 3/8″ clear plastic and 1/4″ clear mesh netting.  Cutouts and feed doors are available upon request.  If you have plastic trim on your tank, the lid will sit on the inside ledge of the trim.  If you have a rimless tank, the lid will sit on 2″ tabs on the tank rim and the lid will sit down inside the tank approx. 1/4″. I can build lids for just about any tank out there including the popular manufacturers such as: Red Sea, Innovative Marine, Planet Aquarium, Waterbox Aquariums, SC Aquariums, Deep Blue Aquariums and Biocubes (Coralife, JBJ, Oceanic…). I also build lids for custom built glass and acrylic tanks.
⁣
*** I have never licensed my lids to any other company.  If you see someone else making plastic, screen aquarium lids they are infringing on my intellectual property.
⁣
* Hinged feed doors are $25 extra!  Standard size is 3″ x 2″.
⁣
* Features polished edges.
⁣
* Cut-outs are $FREE!
⁣
* Quotes are good for 30 days.
⁣
* Shipping comes with full insurance.
⁣
* Octo Lids™ longer than 36″ will have a 1″ wide center brace to avoid the lid bowing due to pressure from the netting.

Simply put…. THE BEST multi-purpose aquatics container can be used for – anemones, mushrooms, acclimating new livestock, putting naughty livestock in time out, holding livestock for sale, etc.
⁣
Why is The SHU™ better than other acclimation boxes?
⁣
• Super powerful neodymium magnets can hold on 1/2″+ glass or acrylic (see details below). Other brands use suction cups which pop off easily. The magnets are encapsulated in acrylic, making them waterproof!  Please visit the magnet warning page for more information on these magnets.
⁣
• High quality acrylic hinges and snapping latches. These heavy duty hinges and latches were made for longevity.
⁣
• Bottom piece available in clear, white or black.
⁣
• Free optional center divider.
⁣
• Hand made in the U.S.A!
⁣
• 4″ tall is more convenient for anemones and corals.
⁣
• Lifetime guarantee!  That’s right, if your SHU™ ever fails under normal usage I will replace it for FREE.  All you are required to do is return the faulty item along with all magnets and I will repair it or ship out a new one. (see warranty page for terms)

A casket is a fancy coffin.  It’s also a fancy container used to hold biological media.  Go figure.

My custom media casket can be made in any size, for a large range of applications.  Some customers use them in sumps and other use them in the back chamber of their all-in-one tank.  Either way it’s a great way to stylishly contain your media for easy service removal.  Contact me for a custom quote.

Do you need to control your flow? No, not that ki Do you need to control your flow?  No, not that kind of flow.  There are medications for that issue.  See your doctor.
⁣

Each tank has a different flow rate.  So how does it make sense to use one style of filter sock “silencer”? It doesn’t.  That’s why i created an adjustable suppressor plate!
⁣
Two 1/8″ discs are clamped together and rotate so you can dial it in for your optimal flow:noise ratio.  Please be aware that these type of devices can restrict flow.
⁣
Available for 7”, 4”, Red Sea and Waterbox 2.75”.

Your corals need light…. DUH. Why would you use Your corals need light…. DUH. Why would you use containers that do not let light pass through?
⁣

Corals get most of their nutrients from algae that lives inside of them (zooxanthellae), just like a lot of anemones. This algae uses light as a food source, so why would you put your corals in a container that restricts light? You shouldn’t. Save 3d printing for the RFG nozzle.

Three sizes/configurations available:
Square – 3″ x 3″ x 3″, hinged lid with secure clasp.

These Coral Guards can be used to keep precious, expensive corals safe from pesky inverts, or to allow mushrooms to attach to substrate.
