Or if you want glass, you can take the measurements to a local glass shop or hardware store and have them cut some glass to fit, just ask them to sand the edges for you.

That's exactly what I did.  Thank you so much for the advice!

if you measure the dimensions, you could simply cut your own lids out of greenhouse siding - they sell it in sheets at most home depot/lowes/that sort of store. They don't break anywhere near as easy as glass. 

Like you, I've had very little luck ordering lids from my LFS and having them come in the correct size.

I’ll try that. Thank you for the tip.

Hello everyone. Does anyone know where I could get a replacement glass top for an Oceanic 75 gallon aquarium? My son broke one side of the glass canopy on his tank and we can't find a replacement anywhere. We purchased a Versa-top from a lfs and it was the wrong size. I even did a Google search for Oceanic 75 gallon glass top and didn't find anything. Thanks for any help you can provide!

That's a great looking tank!  I really like the Rainbows against the green plants.  Good work!

[Nice to meet you.]

I got started with fish keeping in 1995 when I was about 8 years old my parents bought me a 10 gallon tank and 4 guppies I ended up with about 100 in about a year. 🙂   I learned a lot about water changes and the cycle of life.  We moved when I was 9 and my tank didn't come with us so the hobby ended there...fast forward 22 years and I was given a 55 gallon tank and I bought 12 rainbow tetras and 4 guppies.  I fell out of practice over the 22 years and forgot all about the nitrogen cycle.  I went on YouTube and found Cory's peanut butter M&M video (nitrogen cycle) and I was hooked.  I then spent the next month watching Aquarium coops channel.  I'm coming up on 2 years STT and loving my hobby.  I really like being able to create an ecosystem in my living room for each specific group of fish I keep.  I'm about to conquer African Cichlids and Haps.  I have a 75 gallon (This is going to be the Cichlids tank) and my son now has a 55 gallon (Community Tetra tank)  This hobby has really taught me patience and how to just leave nature alone and let it do it's thing.   Any tips or suggestions in my new Cichlids tank I will appreciate the input.  Glad to call myself a NERM! 🙂
