Default Another Mechanical Problem


My wife is petite, 5'1", and I need some way for her to lift this
lid...

http://analog-innovations.com/SED/AquariumLid.pdf

to feed the fish in our sal****er aquarium.

Very heavy, with attached lighting. So heavy it stresses my own
rotator cuffs :-( Recessed, so, right now, I lift it first with my
thumbs.

Any ideas? Maybe a lead screw? No room inside the hood, so it needs
to be external.


Cut a hole in the lid.....
