    Ideas on locking lids
    I need some ideas on how to keep an aquarium lid down.. Im afraid my baby pastel will get out.. ive been looking at zoo med's lid locks but they are $18 for a couple cheap plastic clips...

    It is a 10 gallon aquarium..i was thinking small bungees on all the corners but girl friend said no that would look bad... and the couple heavy books on top just ain't cutting it :rofl:

    Any Ideas ladies and gentlemen????

    x3. There are various other types that look similar and work just as well. The ones I'm using now look like little loops, but the concept is identical. 5 bucks tops
