Hello! I'm trying to figure out how to fasten an egg crate light diffuser to my tank as a lid. I have a cat who likes to be up high, and I'm worried she might knock the lid off the tank and fall in. I have been looking at babyproof locks without much luck. If you have any suggestions for fasteners or alternate lids that would be wonderful. I do need something that fans can blow through because I don't have a chiller. Thanks for the help!
 
I usually just break it down into a piece that will sit inside the top frame o the tank and my cat wont be able to knock it off or pull it up because she would have to be on top of it to do that. if you have a rimless tank, I am not sure what you could do to prevent this.
 
I made a lid for my rimless tank out of mesh and flyscreen door rod (no idea what it's actually called, I hope it makes sense lol. I'll link what I bought). The metal frame has grooves that fit on the glass. I just cut 4 pieces to size and glue them into a rectangle. I then glue the mesh on. Instead of the mesh you could glue the egg crate to the metal frame?

Hope that might help!

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
