   Hi all,
   I've been using a cracked cover on half my aquarium, and that half has gotten more algae than the clear half. Originally I thought it was a flow issue, but after changing that up several times, it occurred to me that it could be the light is being disrupted by salt creep and such from the crack.
   
   So, if anyone has gone topless on a Marineland 125, let me know what you want for a top please.
   Thanks,
   Noah

   You can get glass cut to size at some of the smaller hardware stores like Ace or True Value, and sometimes Home Depot. Then just buy a piece of emory cloth and knock down the sharp edges, is just takes a minute on each edge to do this.
   
   Make sure you get double-strength glass, the thickest they usually carry (should be about 1/8" thick)

   The box stores are a good place to go, I've also had success going to a place that does window glass like safelite or in the Cedar Rapids area Allied Glass. Theyve cut me larger pieces for very cheap. Not 100% if safelite will have what you need or if they've just gone strictly automotive. My local shop used to do both.

   I've got an Ace near me in north Ames. I'll give them a try. Thanks!
