I agree wit hother either use wax paper or just foil tape it . I can see spending the big buck( for me ) on the tank that tank is really nice. I shutter at the ideal of getting the 160 (give or take) for those so called reptile ones with the screen tops that slide on and off from the tope. I prefer my 8 buck tubs and my racks since i don't have the room to place 18 tanks around in single 7x8 sq ft room
