Hey i just recently got a 125 gallon tank off of craigslist. its in great shape but didnt come with a top. i purchased an all glass top that was 72x18..perfect...sike. my tank is awkward and has 2 center braces that make the top its 3 sections. they measure 22x17. am i gonna need a diy hood?

any1 else have these 2 braced tanks? all of the tops seem to be made for a single brace.

thanks

I am sure you can get that plastic hinge for 3/8th glass at a hardware store or something, then you just gotta get the 3/8th glass cut to the sizes need, then get some handles that stick on with adhesives...
 
Most larger LFS's should have stock glass tops for a 125 in stock and if not they should be able to order them for you. I'm sure you could also get them from either petco...petsmart...or even glasscages.com.
 
Here are some pics of my tank. it has 2 seperate braces instead of 1. its not a very good pic. its a close up birds eye view of the middle of the tank. there is another square to the left and right of that center one. i was hoping to find a premade hood just to save me the trouble. but ill do it if i need to

Check the glass tops at petco and petsmart like I said only ignore what size tank they are for and look at the sizes....3 tops for a stock 29 might do it or something along those lines...
 
I have seen that type of trim before. Your braces are similiar to the one I have except I only have one center brace versus your two center brace. Is this one of those rounded corner style tank? If yes, then you have an odd size cover. I doubt you will find it at Petco or Petsmart. You can measure it and have a glass shop cut it for you or buy plastic plexi and break it to the size you want.

Here are a few pictures of my plexi glass cover I made.

I have the same do it your self tops, but they will not work with my HBF I am using for a while... and worse they are so flemze that they will not hold if I cut hole across the back for them... I have a 135 with double bracing... I am think of find some old tops and having them cut down... the middle in my tank already have a glass piece silconed in from the bottom and does not leek
