Easy Yes, but the most rewarding is the reduction of humidity in the fish rooms....  All that tanks no have lids except the 2 15 gallon apisto tanks and the 40 breeder we use as a hatchery....  Made 4 55 gallon tops for under $40.00.

Here is another thing Lori and I just talked about...   Take a glass lid off the thank and the next thing you know opppss  it's broken.  With this stuff you step on it and opps.  Place it back on the tanks and its ready to go....

That's a good point. I have dropped glass tops before. I think I'm going to make these for the new tank.
