Good point! Thanks.

I was actually going to try and do some research on vinyl sheets as it can be readily found for a pretty reasonable price even if I'd have to ship it to me. I've seen quite a few tanks on RC use this method, but never really paid close attention as to the specific products, techniques, risks, etc.

'Tis what I did
$6 for waterproof nylon stuff, and some industrial velcro attached to 4 corners
Mind you, the velcro roll isn't cheap, and my wife sewed all the edges and velcro for me

Cons - splash water down the back and you have to clean the glass
Pros - you can pull a corner off and use a magfloat

Looks like you'd have some planning and sewing to do with all your bulkheads - and I guess you'd have to do the whole outside of your overflow
If you're a good sewer (fabric, not black water ) I can picture a nice covering with velcro'd flaps and such
One in blue and one in black, WTH right
