Medkow74 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I don't know why this is hard for me to find on the interwebs but here is my question. I have what I believe is a Marineland 20 gallon long, bought from Petsmart. I purchased a Versatop glass lid for it back when I originally bought the tank. It fits perfect except for the plastic backstrip, it doesn't go all of the way to the back of the tank. Does anyone know if I purchased the replacement Marineland backstrip would it fit the Versatop lid as far as glass thickness? None of my LFS seem to sell replacement lid parts so I have to order them online and hate ordering just to see if it works. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppysnail Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I use light cover egg crate to support pothos and lucky bamboo for nitrate control in lieu of the strips. It cuts to fit however you want. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bev C Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 @Guppysnail that is a wonderful idea instead of plastic strips they are a pain to get on the glass lids and that works awesome for pothos .. i think I will do that next time i need to replace the plastic on my lid for my pothos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a window screen cut to fit the area that the lid doesn't cover. It keeps fish from jumping out just fine. I was also able to cut away a space for a hang on back filter too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
