new hoods for cheap

[ward1066]

I just picked up a used Oceanic 125 and it didn't come with any glass tops. This is a 6 ft tank. any ideas where to pick up some? thanks

any glass shop can cut you glass tops

depending on what you're keeping, you may not need to 100 % cover the tank with glass. you could leave 6 inches uncovered when you have them cut the hood size. this allows for sliding the glass back to feed and access the tank instead of removing the whole piece, which gets old fast

Get some acrylic sheet from Home Depot and make your own. Its way cheaper than pre-made lids. It cuts easily and if you get some brass hinges,a couple brass handles and brass screws and nuts you can make a lid that will last longer than a store bought one.
