I like my Mag Hytec's; nicely made, oversized and functional.

Summit Racing makes an aluminum one for under $150. I don't think it holds any more fluid though.

Sea World Approved.

Sea World here in San Diego would be interested in these "Aquarium Differential Covers" Only thing's missing is the Goldfish.
