What a fantastic idea!! Thank you for sharing this. I've always been a Lowes kind of girl. It was the only store in my home town for many years. Plus, they give me a military discount for being a veteran. Ya can't pass up on a discount ! LOL

Great video!! I like how you showed exactly where to find it at Home Depot. Dr. Foster and Smith sell aqueon replacement hinges in 6’ lengths. I bet they would work.
I've been selling these lids in the shrimp hobby for quite some time now. Use them on all my lids. Sold many to theshrimpfarm.com as well as other large breeders. Never had issues with mold or anything.
Jadren Aquatics for all the ones I've done, I leave a single piece and just notch out for air lines which is left for the customer to do. It's a great product.
There is a breathable tape designed just for this stuff to close up the open ends. Helps to prevent dirt or another foreign objects getting in the slots and allows them to breath. Thank you for the ideas.
You can probably make a handle with the scraps and silicone. Also you probably can also seal the edges with silicone so they don't get dirty on the inside. I need to try this, tank lids are expensive, and I have one tank without a lid, one with an old lid, and one that's an awkward shape that my new cat messed up. It was old and cheap plastic, so it would have messed up sooner or later. It's a rimless so I would have to find a way to add clips.
Just cut out the a little rectangle in the corner your filter runs in. Should work just fine, the other edge and remains edges will support themselves just fine presumably.
Home depot not dirty, more like old school 80s/90s construction store setup. It's about contents inside more than appearance, but Kmart always made me feel same way when entering them towards the end of company, as opposed to nicer more stocked Walmart stores.
This is awesome stuff! I will be using it to make lids for future projects. I like it more than the corrugated stuff Joey uses. Good tip about using the rounded part as the front end of the lid. I'm not crazy about Home Depot. I have one that's a 5 minute drive from my place so I go there for convenience, but some of the employees there are such slackers. Good luck trying to get help from these people. Thanks for posting!
What Home Depot did u buy from? My local stores only carry the 4’x8’ panels. I’m hoping I can order from the store you bought at, I don’t need to pay $90 for all that material. Thanks in advance
Traffic wise, Lowe's is the choice where I live. But if you are buying any kind of molding, HD sells it by the foot, whereas Lowe's makes you buy a whole long length of the stuff. Overall, HD has 40% more sales than Lowe's.
lololi feel like a Jamaican, no Lowes or Home Depot to go to. Feeling Sad lolol, very interesting and funny question. Yep it is kinda expensive based on what i know about this material.... wouldnt you need some form of weight on the top so as to prevent large fish from bumping and jumping out. Would you also need to punch a few holes in it so as to allow air to pass through hitting the surface of aquarium water?
I have lids made of that “waved” plastic. I HATE them!! Going to be switching over to these at some point. I feel the same way about “da Depot”! I’m a Lowes and Menards kinda guy!
Lol it’s funny how you feel dirty when you’re at Home Depot. I get what you’re saying but I feel that with Lowe’s not Home Depot. Home Depot felt more like a premium place for me
Great demonstration, I use it in all my fish tanks; they are worth the expense. As for how to keep the water from getting inside them ( prevent algae ), I'm going to try and seal the holes with silicone. The dollar store sell the same type of hooks in smaller size. Another advantage of those lids is that they help reduce the humidity and water evaporation.

I used the Gorilla Tape to cover the long edges to keep them sealed. The Gorilla tape is very durable & sticky. Keeps the gunk from getting in through the side holes. Also VERY CHEAP! And gives the top a more finished look.

That 1/16th of an inch will get you every time. I drill 1” finger holes. Much cheaper than a handle, but the finger holes can get funky because I also use them as feeding holes. 👉

I used this stuff on my aquariums and it works great!! Also used the 2” tape for a wrap around the open sides to seal up the open cells, a small upward extended wrap makes a nice lid handle too.
Great video and very helpful but title is misleading, telling me I can make a lid for $5 and the material I need is $36. Not everyone wants to make multiple lids, I just need one. But I understand the quality is worth it, just misleading in the title.
Love it! I wish I had found this before I spent $80 on 2 Aqueon Hoods for my 55-gallon tank... that don't fit snug anyway. Next time I need lids, I am coming back to this vid!
couldn´t you use the clear masking tape to close the ribs on the side of the polycarbonate sheets, so you don´t have to clean them? Rob´s fishroom tour he did recently with you brought me here!!! keep up the good work, I´m planning to build my own fish room one day. Greetings from Germany
$36 isnt that bad when you think of it. Definitely cheaper then glass especially if you need it for multiple aquariums or a larger aquarium. Also could i use a circular saw or jigsaw for this?? I dont have a table saw
Sorry forgot to post the links
Polycarbonate sheet
amzn.to/2EAj4TA
Command Hook Medium
amzn.to/2pbLKHp
Thank you!!
So much for the under $5.....or did you mean shipping would be under $5?
It's based on making 8 of these and buying the sheet from home depot
Jadren Aquatics your link says $70

Great lid idea. Home Depot donated millions to make the Georgia Aquarium happen. I prefer Home Depot.
😄 priceless when the top didn't fit couldn't stop laughing , thank u !!!
Title: under 5 dollars
Him: the material is expensive
He also said It's at home depot and that lowes does not carry it, then 5 seconds later he says Let me show you how you can find it easy in lowes
@@DaSNoble Nope, he went into Home Depot and picked it up there.
The title say $5 , the I store price said $14 and he’s saying 34 per sheet
The price is based on making multiple lids not just one lid.
its $5.... in 1992 lol
Why would I want multiple lids
You want more then one lid if you have a bigger tank you must have a small tank guy
Hunter Small you mean if you have multiple tanks? A big tank requires one big lid
What a fantastic idea!! Thank you for sharing this.
I've always been a Lowes kind of girl. It was the only store in my home town for many years. Plus, they give me a military discount for being a veteran. Ya can't pass up on a discount ! LOL

I shop both Home Depot and lowes. Each has something a little different.
4 years later that is good to know. That was my first question about the light. I'm at that point where I need do do more DYI stuff.
Acrylic hinges and acrylic glue from Ebay makes these lids WIN. Pennies. no tape.
Great feedback!
So true
Now I just need a table saw 😅
Lol Yea you gotta have a descent saw
Great video!! I like how you showed exactly where to find it at Home Depot. Dr. Foster and Smith sell aqueon replacement hinges in 6’ lengths. I bet they would work.

36 a sheet that’s great price
Here in Canada Home Depot charges 75!
Thanks for the great video
WOW what's it cost from Amazon
Everything in Canada cost more!
Thank you. This video helped me out in 2024

I need to try this, tank lids are expensive, and I have one tank without a lid, one with an old lid, and one that's an awkward shape that my new cat messed up. It was old and cheap plastic, so it would have messed up sooner or later. It's a rimless so I would have to find a way to add clips.
Bondic would strongly attach the small pieces to create new halves. Great idea !
Thanks for this video that will come in very handy
okay, useful video! Who has made these to use with Hang on Back filters?
Just cut out the a little rectangle in the corner your filter runs in. Should work just fine, the other edge and remains edges will support themselves just fine presumably.
I’m not sure if it would be different for a 10 gallon tank but it’s fine for my 20
I feel dirty at lowes.. plus lowes employees in my towns store are standoffish
We use this but we just cut one peice to overlap the other so it sides, no hinges.
Great video to share!! Plus your entertaining! 😁
Would this be suitable for saltwater tanks
Yes.
Great thanks
Yep just gotta clean the salt creep as usual
Can you cut it with a box cutter? Or will they cut it in half for you?
Great video. Keep it up 👍🏻
Dang it... I went hunting for this product today and can't seem to find it at any local HD...
Yes its getting harder to find now
@@JadrenAquatics I wish I could find a source for it here in western PA. what is the thickness of the sheets you used?
Thanks for the video now I can make me a Hood for my tank it's 6feet long thanks
Home depot not dirty, more like old school 80s/90s construction store setup. It's about contents inside more than appearance, but Kmart always made me feel same way when entering them towards the end of company, as opposed to nicer more stocked Walmart stores.
That Polo Shirt!! 👍
Lol thanks
Home Depot is my go to for any project. Ours has great customer service.
first of all, points for Boba Fett and the stormtrooper... >D
I really do need an aquariium lid tho ... love this
Lol you should see my game room then!
thanks for the video, Can a light fixture go on top of the lid is there any danger of it melting from the heat?
Yep I have some that sit directly on them and they get too hot to touch. Thanks
Jason would a bead of silicon on the edges stop the mold from forming just a thought
Yep when I do an update video I'm going to include using silicone or hot glue to seal up all of the edges to keep water and mold out
posts a lid for $5-- shows a $36 required product...
Its for people who have fish rooms where you can make 8 of them out of one sheet for 10 gallon tanks
🤣😂
36/8=$4.50
$4.50
Nice idea with light weight

My Lowes and home depot are almost next door lol
What about Bow Fronts?
Maybe but you would have to be able to cut half circles
I missed the part of the DIY build that was $5. Nevertheless great affordable idea.
cant find anything similar at home depot, even online - they no longer carry it?
Yeah it's great if you have a few tanks, but for one tank 36 dollars (would be alot more expensive here in europe) is a bit much for a lid.
Yes I would just buy glass lids for just one tank
2 of the HOME DEPOT's near me didnt have it.. sucks for me, glass it is
To make it easy to find in lowes... cuts to a homedepot. You know you can rewatch and edit your videos prior to posting right?
What Home Depot did u buy from? My local stores only carry the 4’x8’ panels. I’m hoping I can order from the store you bought at, I don’t need to pay $90 for all that material. Thanks in advance
I get mine from the Mansfield Texas store. I've never seen a 4x8 sheet
Traffic wise, Lowe's is the choice where I live. But if you are buying any kind of molding, HD sells it by the foot, whereas Lowe's makes you buy a whole long length of the stuff. Overall, HD has 40% more sales than Lowe's.
Well this effect my lights for my Corals?
Thanks man great tip! May I add. Just clear silicone the holes.🤔 no algae in holes 😉
Are you worried about the tape adhesive leaching into your tank water? I guess it's not that big of a deal. I appreciate the video
Lowe’s is definitely my go to... my local home depot has horrible customer service.
Yea I hate going to Home Depot but I have no choice every time I need these.
lololi feel like a Jamaican, no Lowes or Home Depot to go to. Feeling Sad lolol, very interesting and funny question.

Good diy👍👍👍👍
Lowes is my store. I feel dirty in the Home Depot too. I also get 10% off every purchase at Lowes.
I have lids made of that “waved” plastic. I HATE them!! Going to be switching over to these at some point. I feel the same way about “da Depot”! I’m a Lowes and Menards kinda guy!
YOu beat me to the punch, was already thinking what the wife would say about the dishwasher
How's that over time?
Still great as of day 1 or after how many days you decided not to use it any more?
I still use about 70 of them. Just gotta clean them about once a year thanks
How to make a lid for only $5... Go buy a $36 sheet, then only use $5 worth of it lol 👍
It's for making multiples lids for a fish room
yep this is only worth it if you have many tanks thats why I never came around to buying it.
Love the hat YNWA
Lol it’s funny how you feel dirty when you’re at Home Depot. I get what you’re saying but I feel that with Lowe’s not Home Depot. Home Depot felt more like a premium place for me
Home Depot is Lowe’s Father
Lol
Ynwa brother
no gas exchange
There are holes cut in the lid plenty of gas exchange
use hockey tape
Home Depot sucks! I love and trust lowes
I wish I could get a smaller size... I won't need that much.
I agree with other commenters, change the title. Many of us were just looking for a 10 or 20 gallon solution and this is not 5 bucks.
An aquarium lid, under five dollars, that I can make? no. It'll cost ya THIRTY-five dollars.
Lowe’s all the way
I prefer lowes based primarily on the fact that the home depot owners are terrible people.
"under $5.00" material was 40....
That’s per tank
The guy is a idot thats why. Don't get any kind of advice from him.
You said for under 5 bucks but you literally paid over 30 dollars for the sheet.....
It's based on making multiple lids for a fish room
@@JadrenAquatics Oh. Lol sorry
Yeah. That's 60 bucks for 2x4. That's not a 5 dollar lid...
It based on multiple tanks
If you finna pay that much for material you might as well just buy the top 😂 and a whole new fish tank with fish and everything they need
Why would you put under $5 when you have to go buy something that’s $30?
$5 huh? You spent $36 on the 2x8....
Home Depot is over rated I love lowes
So this isn't under $5 😂😂
Yes when you make them for multiple tanks
You should feel dirty for the false title
Its not a false title if you cut down the whole sheet and make tops out of it all they are under $5 each
I like Home Depot better. Idk why
That’s weird you said that. I feel kinda dirty going into Lowes.
Lol
Great demonstration, I use it in all my fish tanks; they are worth the expense. As for how to keep the water from getting inside them ( prevent algae ), I'm going to try and seal the holes with silicone. The dollar store sell the same type of hooks in smaller size. Another advantage of those lids is that they help reduce the humidity and water evaporation.
Yep it would take an eternity to seal every hole on 50 tops lol

36 dollars a sheet is not a 5 dollar project is it??? What a doofus.
It's based on getting 8 out of that sheet for a fish room
I thought the same thing 😑
Da, I don't know how to make it fit more than 1 tank. One in every croud.
You said 5$ for the lid but the sheet is 36$ so I feel click baited. Not cool man
It's based on having multiple tanks never intended to be click bait
Yay, I've been waiting for this, Thanks Jason. In Australia we have Bunnings or Mitre 10. I feel dirty going to Bunnings.

Excellent video! I love the humor. Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks on lids. 💖🐠💖
Your very welcome
Great stuff! It;s a pain getting tank kits all the time...a pain to my wallet X'D Also, my mom always went to Home Depot, so that's my jam.
use a thin bead of sillycone for hinge.lol i know i spelled wrong but i think it is funner this way lol
That's a good idea!
Will a regular old hacksaw do the job?
Great idea. I need that information this week. I am temporarily using a cover from a overhead flor light. Makes a perfect canopy cover. hmmm.. Thanks
I'm wondering how easy is it to make cuts for filters, heater cord, tubing, etc...Most people don't want to seal the top of the tank 100%
Yes I had to cut slots for multiple things and it's pretty easy
How is this under $5?
Great DIY... love the idea braddah!! Much love and aloha🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽
