IceCap Freshwater Reservoir Replacement Lid — 5 to 15 Gallons (IP-FCTLRG-CVR)
The IceCap Freshwater Reservoir Replacement Lid (SKU: IP-FCTLRG-CVR) is an authentic, factory original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part distributed by CoralVue to restore the structural enclosure integrity of your auto top-off (ATO) water storage system. Maintaining pristine, dust-free reservoir water is critically important in closed reef or freshwater aquariums. When an auto-top-off pump pulls contaminated water into the display, it can introduce foreign debris that binds to impellers or clogs fine float switches. Traditional open-topped containers allow rapid evaporation and invite structural dust into the line. The IP-FCTLRG-CVR preserves your reservoir’s specialized protection, dropping directly into the built-in top rim to keep your top-off water perfectly isolated.
This individual replacement lid features a smart universal sizing layout engineered to accommodate all three of the larger IceCap Freshwater ATO Reservoir variants, including the 5 Gallon (IC-FCT-5G), 10 Gallon (IC-FCT-10G), and 15 Gallon (IC-FCT-15G) containers. Because these three specific vessels utilize the exact same cross-sectional upper perimeter profile, this single lid model functions as a perfect drop-in solution for all three sizes. If your original lid was accidentally cracked during a tight-cabinet equipment shuffle, or misplaced during a seasonal cleaning, this dedicated replacement panel instantly fully restores your system's evaporation buffer and clean water security without forcing you to purchase a costly brand-new reservoir assembly.
Key Features
Prevents Premature ATO Triggering: By minimizing internal water volume loss from raw surface evaporation, this lid keeps your storage supply preserved longer between refilling routines.
Tool-Free Removal System: Features a polished, rounded finger cutout slot that makes it effortless to lift, flip, or remove the cover during fast refilling tasks.
Maintains Modern Aquarium Aesthetics: Crystal-clear material allows for unhindered visual monitoring of water levels from any angle underneath your cabinet stand.
(Note: This catalog listing includes one single clear acrylic replacement cover lid specifically cut for the 5-15G series. The complete reservoir body, RO float valves, and 1/4" push-connect fittings are sold under separate product categories).

- Unbox your IP-FCTLRG-CVR replacement lid panel carefully. Crucial Step: Peel away any clear or blue protective plastic film backing layers from both faces of the acrylic lid prior to installation.
- Wipe the lid down with a clean, damp microfiber cloth to remove any static cling or packaging dust.
- Clean the recessed upper track shelf on your 5G, 10G, or 15G IceCap reservoir to remove dried salt creep or calcified hard water ring marks.
- Align the replacement lid directly over the top opening of your reservoir container, ensuring the smooth side faces upward and the lifting notch points forward.
- Lower the acrylic lid gently into the recessed track shelf, verifying it sits perfectly flush and flat across all four edge lines.
- When performing routine refilling tasks, hook a single finger into the built-in lift notch to pull the cover clear, then slide it right back down into position when you are finished.
Pro Tips:
- Verify Your Exact Reservoir Sizing Profile Before Finalizing Your Order. While this universal lid fits nearly every mid-to-large reservoir IceCap produces, it will not fit their extra-slim desktop model. Take a quick look under your cabinet: the small 2.5-gallon reservoir utilizes an ultra-narrow footprint (only 3.9 inches deep). If you own that compact 2.5G model, this lid will be much too large; you will need to order the size-specific small version (SKU: IP-FCTSM-CVR) to ensure a proper fit.
- Never Wipe or Clean Your Acrylic Cover Panel with Household Windex or Alcohol. Acrylic is a beautifully clear material, but it is highly sensitive to harsh household cleaning chemicals. Spraying ammonia-based glass cleaners (like standard Windex) or rubbing alcohol onto your lid will cause an immediate chemical reaction known as "crazing." This leaves thousands of tiny, irreversible spiderweb fractures throughout the plastic, turning it permanently cloudy. To keep your lid pristine, simply wipe it down with a soft cloth soaked in warm fresh water or a little white vinegar.
- Keep an Eye on the Outer Air Gap Openings to Maximize Your Evaporation Buffer. Because this lid features a neat finger notch cut right into its perimeter edge, it provides a safe, built-in channel option. If you are feeding heavy 1/4-inch RO or ATO water lines straight down into the reservoir, position the lid so your tubing runs directly through that finger notch slot. This allows your plumbing to pass down cleanly without lifting the lid, keeping the rest of the reservoir opening fully sealed against evaporation.
