Glass canopy issues....

[Nisa McPooper]

So I'm at my wits end here. My wife got us a huge new tank and the canopies that came with it didn't fit at all. I measured it out and the dimensions of the tank itself are 72lx18 1/2wx24 1/2h - there are two places for the canopies, each measuring 35lx17 1/2w - I've looked just about everywhere and the only canopies I can find are made 36l, not 35 and it looks like the previous owner bought a 36l canopy which isn't level when you rest it on the tank. Is there *anyone* who sells a 35l?

Thanks in advance!

When i need the shorter ones I just take the glass to a hardware store that sells glass and they will cut them shorter. Make sure to use sand paper to dull the cut side because it will be very sharp.

You possibly have the best wife ever. And WELCOME to MFK

Here is a link on how to cut glass (and make glass lids).
