Magnetic Aquarium Mesh Lid For Fish Tanks

Need a secure terrarium lid or vivarium cover that prevents escapes while keeping good airflow and light? This DIY magnetic aquarium lid is designed to seal neatly to an enclosure using strong magnetic strips and a handy top handle for quick access. The soft, breathable mesh provides a barrier without damaging animals and keeps curious jumpers from leaving the enclosure.

The cover is cuttable and drillable so you can size it to your setup and make neat pass-throughs for heaters, filters, lamps and power cords. The 5 mm mesh spacing reduces food getting stuck during feeding while still allowing light and air to reach basking or humidity zones, helping heating and lighting perform as intended. With a load capacity of up to 4 kg the mesh resists collapse and offers extra protection against pets leaning or scratching the top. Installation is straightforward – use top mounting for thicker walls and side mounting for thinner walls.
