Anyone know where to get these? I can’t find any that will fit I have tried a few diff sizes 22”,24” neither fit it. 22” to small and 24” is slightly to big I can’t find 23”
 
Any chance you know who manufactured your aquarium? Or if the top trim was replaced in the past?

If this is an Aqueon, aka AllGlass, aquarium then this is one place for the lids https://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3753+3829+3831+5355&pcatid=5355 if you need them shipped. If you need them for the Marineland aquarium, aka Perfecto, tank then here is where to go https://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3753+3829+3831+5352&pcatid=5352

I have a 150, a 125 and some 24 inch AllGlass tanks which all use the same size lid.

If you were anywhere near Boston, kensfish.com sells both Aqueon and Perfecto lids, but they are pick-up only.

My experience is that pets stores etc. make a huge mark-up on glass tops.
 
I’m not sure the brand of the tank Iv had it for years got it new. Broke the lids soon after I got it. Used plastic tops till now. The fish r big enough now they r popping the plastic ones off easily. Havnt been able to find any glass ones to fit

That makes things tough- I have 1 marineland and 2 AGA. they are not the same sized

best bet is figuring out the brand or buying sheets of acrylic and cutting your own.
 
How much is 'slightly' too big? If it's like a mm or less you can shave down the brace a little bit. I had to do that the last time I replaced plastic hoods with glass ones. Took about 15 minutes with a utility knife scraping the plastic and making an awful, awful sound as it scraped tiny, paper thin strips at a time. But the hoods fit fine now and the brace is still plenty strong.
