For a secure and functional lid, recessed polycarbonate panels supported by inner acrylic blocks sound like a solid idea. Durability and aesthetics are key—similar to how CertainTeed Landmark Pro Driftwood shingles provide both strength and a polished look for roofing projects, ensuring long-term reliability and style.

1/4" or better polycarbonate panels cut to size would be my choice, but relatively expensive. The corrugated thinner greenhouse panels would work and are cheaper but don't really have a finished look imo if that matters to you.

If this is just for practicality, I just drape and cinch a clear vinyl tarp over my stock tank which works very well to keep fish in and insulates rather well.

Fer cryin' out loud, Backfromthedead Backfromthedead , will you pay attention? We have apparently segued into talking about roofing shingles and you're still going on about tank lids?

Get with the program, man! If you haven't got a solid idea that combines the key concepts of durability and aesthetics... :)
