An update.
A warning for anyone considering doing the same or similar to this diy project.
Do NOT get 3mm perspex, get thicker, minimum 4mm or maybe 5mm perspex or better still, glass.
Have found that the lid starts to curl/bend now under the heat of the light and from the heat/condensation of the water possibly.
Annoying but thats what happens sometimes. A learning curve! (literally!)
So, gonna try and get 5mm perspex and will take a template of my lid to a glass cutter as get a quote just to see if viable to do this depending on costs involved.
Will update as soon as get any further.
