Mesh Top Modification

[Foxton]

Just a heads up on the use of a plastic top.....if it is acrylic then the top will sag down over time(the thinner it is the faster it will happen), causing the corners to curl up a bit. This will let some heat out but more importantly I will let out quite a bit of humidity. This sag will be noticeable in as little as a couple of days if the acrylic is thin.

1/8" and it is spread out over the mesh itself not along the edges. I am considering doubling it up in parts and using some flaps to overlap the cage top itself.

Instead of making the hole larger, you can just get a smaller dome ........ I use the Flukers 5" size with a CHE.
I have got them on sale online for only like $10.

Definitely an option, and probably a good idea simply for a backup. Found one on amazon for 11$ but it's only rated for 75w.
