chtaylor26 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I am just wondering what everybody for glass lids? Do you just suck it up and buy from your LPS? Have you had something made from a glass store? Any ideas would be helpful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CORVETTE Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Try Gold Aquariums they are a really good price for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsgofishn Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Depending on size of tank, try a glass shop and ask for some used glass. Big Al's sells the plastic hinges if needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chtaylor26 Posted March 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Thanks for your help. Is there a minimum thickness I should be looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byte Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Standard window glass is thick enough. Would a large house window be thicker glass than a small window (like aquariums)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chtaylor26 Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Just a quick update. Looked around for used glass and wasn't having much luck so I called Gold's. You can't beat the price. $30.00 for two separate lids custom sized! Thanks for your everyone's input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
