Hey everyone,
I'm looking to either diy, or get a custom aquarium lid locally and have no idea where to look. I'm trying to get a clear top and was hoping theres a cheaper/better way than buying aqeon tops.
Hello : I have multiple tanks and instead of buying custom covers for all I decided to use what the KING of DIY used for his 2000 gal tank. I bought from Lowe's a TUFTEX panel. If you need only one aquarium cover perhaps not appropriate however very cost effective with multiple tanks This is a crystal clear panel with slight waves . It is easy to cut to size and with small fish I know it is also next to impossible for them to jump out. The first picture is a piece that I have been keeping for a possible new aquarium.
The second is showing a curtain behind so the water can be easily seen through the covering
I hope this helps if you consider DIY . Good luck
If you are still looking I get my one piece glass tops from Centennial Glass on Industrial Avenue. They can pretty much cut whatever you want. Prices are reasonable especially if you just want plain 4 sides. A recent 10 gallon glass top cost me around $25 but that was with a corner cut.
