Glass tops for 75 gallon bow front tank?

[Hwom91]

I just got a used 75 gallon bow front tank for my birthday and it is beautiful. The only problem is the glass tops are both broke in half. Does anyone know where i can find some? Do i need to have them made? Any help would be appreciated.

plexi glass works good.

plexi glass will stand up to the heat of a light? my light will be sitting right on top of it.

Bowfronts are usually 72g not 75g if it helps your googling. Is the glass broke or the hinge? Any decent lfs or online pet supply place should carry both the hinges. Since bowfronts cost significantly more than rectangular tanks you make have to have one ordered.

its the glass itself that is broken. the guy i got it from dropped the tops. the only thing holding them together is the hing. I think i am going to get a piece of plexi and see how that goes. Thanks for the help and by the way the tank s 46 gallons. my family told me the guy said it was 75. i thought it looked small so i measured it out.

I believe you should get the dimension and have it made at a glass store. Should be cheaper than buying one premade.
