I kept my top so that I don't have to go buy an ATO. I also run without the back portion from time to time if the tank temp rises. Without the back seems to lower temps about 2 degrees for me with no significant increase in evaporation YMMV. InTank makes this half cover for the back of the tank https://intankaquatics.com/intank-filtration-cover-for-fluval-evo-13-5-52l-and-fluval-spec-16-60l/ which maybe a good comprise. Have you tried running full time without the sump cover? Quote Link to comment

JachPot Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 One thing I thought about doing with this tank was just drilling 3 holes in the front slope (towards the middle of the room if you have it sideways) and then 3d printing 3 "plugs" for those holes. That way I can get my feeding baster down in the water pretty much across the whole tank. So basically take like a 1" hole saw bit, make 3 evenly spaced holes and then print some slightly smaller than 1" plugs out of reef safe petg. Quote Link to comment
