secure lid

One more question... I have the metal mesh lid on the viv. Right now it just sits on top and I have books on both ends to hold it down...
I don't think clips would work on that type of top (?), so I was wondering, how can I secure it better. (What do I need to put in for search) I know, some use velcro, where can I get that?
Thanks again!
 
If it's the framed mesh lids that fit aquariums, they sell metal clips for securing them. I have several and use 2 clips on the 10 gal size and 4 clips on the 20L and 55 size. the clips for the 55gal are larger than the others.
Zero escapes so far using this system :cheers:
 
where can you get the clips? I have an All-Glass brand (fish) aquarium with this type of lid, all im using now to hold it down is a couple heavy books.
 
You can pick the clips up at Petco for around 2.50 A pack. A pack is two clips with instructions on how to use them. I all so use the metal framed lids with the clips and had no escapes. I still put a couple of books or in one case a cast iron skillet on top as a fail safe.
 
you can also try using velcro as well. As long as you make sure the hooks and loops are secure, most corns can't seem to bust out of velcro.
