I bought some at Drs. Foster & Smith a few months ago and remember that the pricing was pretty good.

I often use the egg crate stuff that goes in florescent light fixtures and the plastic "lense" sheeting that goes over it. Not the most attractive option, but you can cut both to fit and it keeps evaporation to a minimum.

Hmmm good call at least until we set things up nice end pretty like next year.

I try to cut my eggcrate to fit the top exactly then do cut outs in the back for airline/filter/whatever and a larger one in the front that I can easily fit a python into. Get the thinner lense stuff, the thicker stuff curls at the edges and is MUCH harder to cut. I recommend cutting with a hot knife or hot scissors, it is very brittle. The eggcrate makes a great support and, with access holes, you can easily push the lense stuff back a bit or lift it up a bit to feed fish. It also lets plenty of light through. Place it smooth side down so if it gets slime algae on it it's easy to clean. I learned that the hard way.
