AQUATOP Lids & Covers
Custom polycarbonate mesh lids for 8 AQUATOP models: 11.3 Gal High Clarity Cube, 12-Gal High Clarity Tall Bookshelf, 3-Gal High Clarity Tall Bookshelf, 4.12-Gal High Clarity Glass Cube and 4 more. Each lid is CNC-cut to the model's outer glass size from 3/8″ clear, shatterproof polycarbonate, with a mesh window for optimal gas exchange and light penetration, and a lip that sits inside the glass so it cannot slide. Each one works as a screen top and jump guard: fish stay in the tank while light and air pass through. 2 of these are all-in-one tanks, so the lid covers the display area and stops at the filter chamber wall. Add a feeding hole with a black or white cap, cutouts for hoses and wires, a feeding cup or a removable evaporation cover in the configurator, approve a digital proof, and it ships free to the contiguous US within about a week. Guaranteed to fit.
AQUATOP sells two very different rimless lines, and we cover both. The High Clarity series — the 4.12 and 11.3 gallon cubes, the 3, 6.5 and 12 gallon Tall Bookshelf tanks and the 40-gallon Forza cube — are plain rimless glass, so the lid is a full-footprint mesh top with a lip that sits inside the glass. The Recife ECO 24 and 40 are all-in-ones with a rear filter chamber, so those lids cover the display and stop at the chamber wall.
Bookshelf tanks are long and shallow, which makes them easy to jump out of; the lid closes the gap without blocking the view from the front. All AQUATOP lids are single-panel 3/8-inch polycarbonate with a mesh window, and the nano sizes qualify for Nano November pricing while the sale runs.
AQUATOP Lid Prices & Specifications
Every lid is cut to its model's exact size from 3/8″ polycarbonate, a shatterproof plastic far tougher than glass or acrylic. Prices are for the lid alone; feeding holes, cutouts, cups and covers are added in the configurator.

AQUATOP Lid Questions
- Does the Recife ECO lid cover the filter chamber?
- No. On the Recife ECO 24 and 40 the lid covers the display area and ends at the filter wall. The High Clarity and Forza tanks have no chamber, so those lids cover the whole top.
- Which bookshelf size do I have?
- The 3-gallon is the shortest, then the 6.5, then the 12; the gallon rating is printed on the tank's box and label. If you are not sure, send us a photo with a tape across the top and we will confirm.
- Can I add a feeding hole to a bookshelf lid?
- Yes. Drag the feeding hole where you want it in the configurator; the proof shows the final position before we cut.
