Jake Ledesma Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Hello all! I didn’t want to cut up anything to make my own lid and cover for my tank but I was wondering if anyone out there can point me into a direction to where I can find a lid and cover for my 40 gallon breeder that won’t leave a big hole for me to have to cover up still. Any and all recommendations are appreciated!! BTW it’s a 40 gallon breeder if you didn’t see it in the title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 why do you not want to make your own? you make a good lid with this https://www.lowes.com/pd/PLASKOLITE-Common-24-in-x-48-in-Actual-23-75-in-x-47-75-in-7-85-sq-ft-Louvered-Ceiling-Light-Panels/3280904 and this 1/8" Clear Netting - Bulk Reef Supply WWW.BULKREEFSUPPLY.COM Why does BRS recommend this? Every tank we set up at BRS we make a screen net top for. They will save you a ton of money down the line after you have a few fish jump out of your tank, and you find them on the floor. ...

I don’t want to make my own just because I like the traditional lid and cover that my 20 gallon has as well, it helps keep my cat from getting feisty and falling in lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickS77 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 A local glass shop can cut a piece to cover the whole side of the tank. I assume you're trying to avoid the plastic filler piece on standard lids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 i've never used a commercial glass lid do they have a hole for hob filters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 there are a bunch of glass lids on amazon, search 40 gallon breeder glass lid. I'm sure you'll find what your looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JettsPapa Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I don't know if you have one near you, but I found a lid for mine at Pet Supplies Plus. It leaves about 2" open along the back, which is typical for the glass lids I've seen, but it has a plastic strip you can cut to fit around the filter, heater cords, etc that attaches to the glass to cover the remainder of that opening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
