I'm going to be constructing a vivarium out of what is currently a 35 gal aquarium. We were waiting for our last ancient fish to die off, which did about 3 months ago (yes the tank is still full of water, we haven't dehomed the trumpet snails that claimed it as their breeding ground after our last fish died yet) before we did something new with it. My question is regarding the top of the tank. It is not completely open, it has several openings for the light, heater, and filter instead. I'm thinking, rather than attempting to fit a screen lid over each opening, it would be easier to just have a screen lid that encompasses the entire hexagon. Is there anyplace where I could purchase one that's already made? Or is this something I would have to construct myself? And if I do have to construct it myself, can anyone give me a quick and dirty tutorial on how to go about doing this?
Here is the tank:

You can see the main opening and the opening for the water heater here as well.
