Here are my versions of the Fluval Flex inlet covers that give better coverage around the sides.

The original covers can be made somewhat shrimp/fry proof by adding foam to them, but the way they are designed there will be small gaps on the sides since they don't extend over the inlet slots.


My versions also require foam to be shrimp/fry safe, but they overlap the sides.
I've also included a foam cutter/template to make matching foam inserts.

-TopFull: The same size as the TopCovered one, but has
