Acrylic Lid for Dymax IQ5 Mini Aquarium
The Dymax IQ Acrylic Lid is a clear acrylic cover designed specifically for the Dymax IQ5 all-in-one mini aquariums. It sits securely on the tank rim and serves three practical functions: keeping livestock inside the tank, slowing evaporation, and protecting the tank's integrated LED lighting from water condensation and splashing.
For Betta fish tanks, a lid is not optional. Bettas are strong jumpers and will leave an uncovered tank given the opportunity, particularly when startled or stressed. For shrimp tanks, a lid reduces the water loss from evaporation that is proportionally significant in a small aquarium. In a 4.7-gallon tank, even moderate daily evaporation can cause a meaningful salinity or mineral concentration shift for shrimp that require stable water parameters. The lid reduces how often top-offs are needed and keeps the water chemistry more stable between maintenance sessions.
The clear acrylic construction keeps the tank's appearance clean and unobstructed. The lid is lightweight and easy to remove for feeding, maintenance, and water changes without tools or latches.
Key Features:
- Prevents fish and shrimp from jumping or escaping the tank.
- Reduces evaporation, limiting water loss and the parameter fluctuations it causes in small tanks.
- Protects the IQ series integrated LED light from condensation and water splash damage.
- Clear acrylic construction maintains full visibility into the tank.
- Lightweight and tool-free removal for feeding and maintenance.
Ideal For:
- Dymax IQ5 tanks housing Betta fish, where a lid is essential to prevent jumping.
- Dymax IQ5 shrimp tanks, where evaporation control helps maintain stable water parameters between top-offs.
Pro Tips:
- Size matters: confirm the tank model before ordering. The IQ3, IQ5, and IQ7 lids are each sized specifically for their corresponding tank. They are not interchangeable. The IQ5 lid (DM-Q5LID) fits only the IQ5 tank; the IQ3 lid (DM-Q3LID) fits only the IQ3; and the IQ7 lid (DM-Q7LID) fits only the IQ7.
- Clean acrylic lids with a soft, damp cloth only. Paper towels and standard sponges can leave fine scratches on acrylic that build up over time and reduce clarity. The Dymax IQ Synthetic Cleaning Cloth is the recommended cleaning tool for all IQ series acrylic components including the lid.
- Even with a lid, keep the tank topped off regularly. The lid significantly reduces evaporation but does not eliminate it entirely. In a small aquarium, a consistent top-off routine using RO or distilled water keeps the water level and chemistry stable. A small ATO system is worth considering for shrimp tanks where parameter stability is critical.
