Hi again,
I stuck this question on the bottom of an earlier post, but here it is on it's own.

Any ideas how to close a tank to a small (2yr old) child who likes to play in water?

(We are setting up a 29gal at a friends house, and this could be a concern)
(Commercial or DIY solutions welcome. I guess we could custom build a hood with a combo lock.. *L*)

Thanks,
Keegan

Custom build the hood and put a lock on it!

go to a petstore and order a canopy thats wht my mom did 4 her pre-school
 
duct tape kept my arowana in its tank those little clamps should work too.
 
Just a suggestion, look at the various child-proofing products available. Perhaps some of the cabinet locks could be used somehow. I'm thinking of the one, in particular, that uses a lock with a magnetic key, although I'm not sure if there is a way to mount it on the hood.

I would also suggest providing another outlet for the child(ren) to play with water. My 1 and 3 year-olds have a sand and water table outside to play with. I also don't get too bothered if they play in the water at the kitchen or bathroom sink. They know that the fish tanks are off-limits. My 3 year-old sometimes helps me feed the fish.... closely monitored, and he also likes to help when I do water changes. This seems to satisfy him.

dont forget to move the bricks before lifting the cover or you will have a lot of water when the brick falls through the tank
