Botanicare 70 Gallon Reservoir Lid | 53.25in x 35.25in, Access Port

How the Botanicare 70 Gallon Lid Changes a Reservoir Routine

A lid is a small thing until you are adding cal-mag to a full tank at 6 a.m. This one is moulded for the Botanicare 70 gallon reservoir at 53.25in x 35.25in x 1.875in. The useful part is the access port. A porthole cover with a raised grip lifts off with one hand, so water, nutrient and pH adjustments go in through an opening. No setting a wet lid down on the floor. Covering the solution also keeps light off it, which is the difference between a clean tank and an algae bloom by week three.

Fitting a Hydroponic Reservoir Lid to the Right Tank

This is a lid only, sold without the reservoir under it. The dimensions are cut for the Botanicare 70 gallon tub and not for a generic tote. Measure before ordering if the tank in the room came from somewhere else. The 1.875 in profile is shallow enough to sit flush and keep the footprint honest under a bench. Once it is on, the routine gets simpler. Pull the porthole to check level or drop in a probe, and leave the main lid seated. That is the whole argument. Anyone running a return line or an air stone through the top will need to cut their own pass-through. The port is sized for hand access, not plumbing.

Key Features

• Access port with porthole cover: Top off water and nutrient without lifting the full lid off a running reservoir.
• Raised grip on the cover: Comes off one-handed with wet hands, which is the only way it ever gets handled.
• 53.25in x 35.25in footprint: Moulded for the Botanicare 70 gallon reservoir so it seats flush rather than resting on the rim.
• 1.875in profile: Shallow enough to keep the tank height honest under a bench or a table.
• Blocks light on the solution: Keeps a covered tank from turning into an algae problem by the third week of a run.
