    In the process of moving my tank inside I broke one glass lid and the other day as I was adding more sand to the tank another fell off and broke so I only have one on my tank right now.  My fiancee surprised me with some fish that seem to like my hard wood floor better then the tank water so I need some lids to keep them from jumping out.  If you have a set that you want to get rid of let me know where and how much and I might be able to take them off of yours hands.
    thanks,
    Thy

    if you are coming to the QC area
    I have a hex tank for $25 that measures
    The tank is 21" tall
    it is 12 1/2" front glass to back glass
    36" across back glass
    22 1/2" across front glass
    7" on the sides glass
    9" on the other angled sides glass
    you could take apart and have glass cut to whatever size you want.
    if it doesn't sell soon I will be taking it apart it will take up less space

    Is there any chance that it's the same as a 58 gallon lid? I have one of those I'm not using.

    You can also get 1/8" glass from True Value (Lowe's and Home Depot typically do not carry glass that thick) and they will cut it for free, then you just need to spend 5 minutes sanding the edges with a sheet of Emory paper. I got lids for my 120 to fit under my light fixture and it only cost about $16.

    Are you stuck on using glass? Have you looked into making a screen for the top instead of using the glass lids?

    I've thought about the screen. Not sure how it'd work with PCs tho. Looks like the dimensions are 22" by 13".
