What Is A Good Substitute For An Aquarium Cover?

I have a 10 gallon aquarium on my desk. My desk already has a Florescent light so I don't want to shell out the money to buy a Aquarium cover + florescent light. What is a good replacement for an aquarium cover? I don't think I want the terrarium covers because they're wire screens- and they let dust through. Any suggestion?

    I made one from cardboard and had it laminated. I put bits of foam about .5mm thick on the sides of the inside of it to keep it from sliding off the top of the tank.

  2. Glass cover
