Is there a lid/cover on this aquarium? If so, are there any openings in the lid for tubing?

You can put a heater in the back compartment and run the cord out the back. If you put the tubing in the back compartment you could also run the tubing out the back...If you put the airstone in the front part of the aquarium you might be able to run the tubing under the lid through the back space (under the little black lid) and out the back with the other wires. The tubing might interfere with lid movement thought if it is too wide.

Yes, there is a lid. Thick glass. I checked, I don't see any way for tubing unless you take the lip off the back, which you can do. .. but it gives it a finished look.

It has a pre cut opening in the back. It is for the filter back flow of water. Make sure your tank has a plastic border around the entire top of the glass . If. Not then the cover will fall into the tank. I had to build plastic extensions on mine.

Hi aquagirl, If you are looking for a hood that can hold lights etc, this isn't it. This is strictly the glass cover that goes on top of the tank. It's glass with a plastic attachment on one side that you can cut in to guide tubed and cables in the tank.

I'm going to assume you mean a separate box that encloses the unit and the valves to be installed below. If that's correct, then the answer is no, there is no other enclosure. What you see in the picture is what you get. Hope this helps -JD

there is an opening on top, not very big. I have an automatic feeder clipped up top, not very pretty but it works. Every time the feeder turns, it will bang against one of the wall. It is like Pavlovian conditioning all the fishes swim close to the drop point. Anyways I found the filter design for this aquarium is not good enough, so I added Chemipure 5oz pack where the pump is now it works out great! No more cloudy water.

There is a 'shelf' that covers about a third near the bottom, but no, there's really no bottom as it is meant to be put on the top of a 10 gallon aquarium -- which works great for my two gerbils. They're flying up and down the ramp all day to take full advantage of the extra space.

No filter, but I bought one from Amazon and it worked well with it. There is a notch for a filter cord, so don't worry about the lid not fitting right. If you decide on a filter, makes sure you choose one suitable for a 1 gallon aquarium because bettas don't like turbulence (bubbles) that much. A filter for a 3-5 gallon aquarium would be too overwhelming and might suck the betta in.

Hi Slynee, no, the tank comes without cover. You can build a tower with this tanks, but the tank on top, will always be uncovered.

This is meant to rest on a glass lid. If your tank does not have one and you do not wish to buy one, you can have glass cut to fit the lid of your aquarium at your local hardware store. It is very inexpensive to have this done. You can also purchase a pre-made glass aquarium cover.

No lid and the spiget had to be installed in the bucket. Also the hole was a little small so I had to ream it out a little.

No cover. Not really deep enough for a cover, I don't think. Only used it once, but it worked well.

They do make one with a lid and sell it on Amazon. I don't like it as much. You can't see when all the crystals are gone, or dispose of the water. You're just supposed to replace it in 3 months. Also, the lid is a thin paper which may break during shipping.

Yes, the container has a lid. It is under the container in the photo. I fits perfectly on top for closure and underneath for convenience during use.

You can add a heater, and you can do it with the lid that comes with the tank. I added some special equipment to my tank, that's why I needed a custom lid. As for the heater, I would recommend the very smallest kind they make -- one that is intended for goldfish bowls or beta fish bowls. Most pet stores carry them. You can slide it into a compartment in the back of the tank.

no cover, it is open at the bottom. the bulb sits rather high into the fixture so it is not hanging out of the bottom though.

Yes there is a lid (you can actually see it in the picture). There is a hole in the middle for the light and for gas exchange, but its not big enough for a cat to fall in. Glow fish are genetically modified danios, and I would never put danios in anything smaller than a 10 gallon. Due to the limited size of this aquarium guppies or a betta fish might be your only option. (Personally, I have mixed feelings about betta fish in a 2.6 gal.) I just keep shrimp and snails in this.

No cover, there is a bottom plate that is inserted inside that keeps the cube open. Just an update, my 2 year old terrorizes these things on a daily basis, usually ends up playing with these more than the toys they hold and they still look like new, great product!
