Fluval Flex 9 - Aftermarket Lid Options

[RichNJ]

I have Fluval Flex 9 for our African dwarf frog tanks.  The light just burnt out on us, so am looking to replace.  Other than a replacement OEM version directly from Fluval, anyone have a recommendation for aftermarket clear lids that fit this tank?  Thinking about upgrading the light rather than the light built into the Fluval OEM lid.

I imagine you could get an acrylic or glass sheet cut to the dimensions. For a light they almost all have brackets with plastic screws to mount to the lid.

This is pecktec's which does have a sheet of glass.

Looks just fine.
