  • Donde Estas....glass tops??

    Okay, so my Spanish skills are sub-par (at best)...
    but I do need to find a place where I can buy glass tops for my 100 gallon.

    I just measured my aquarium and it seems to be around 61 inches long...I don't know if that's standard or not...
    I just know that I need glass tops.  

    Let me know if you know a place.

      We just got some glass tops for two of our tanks from City Pets the other day.  If you call them and tell them how big your tank is they can tell you a price over the phone.

        Prosper at AquaZoo seems to have a hook up for glass tops, and he's closer than City Pets.
        So many things can be a mystery, when all we're seeking is freedom...

          You can shoot Shannon and Prosper a PM through Aqua Zoo.  They have someone that can build some tops for your tank.  That's probably the closest on this side of town.

            Else if you travel to Katy you can visit Andy at Fishland and he also has a ton of different tops in stock

              Get good measurements of your "inside" dimensions (where the glass will sit).  Manufacturers dimensions vary and what fits one tank may not fit another.
              If you can't find exactly what you need, there is a glass shop here in TexasCity that is reasonable.

              He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

                Another vote for Aqua Zoo. They have a bunch in stock and can have custom tops made quickly. The number there is 281-286-2238. They open at noon on Saturday.

                          go to a local glass cutter and have some cut.  you can buy the plastic hinge and handle and the back part from lfs for cheap.  glass is cheap too.  just measure top, take hinge and back with you to glass cutter and they can figure out the size of the pieces. thats what idid.

                            I need a top for the Hex tank I bought at the HAS auction and
                            as soon as I make a cardboard template with the hinge & back,
                            I'm heading for the local glass shop.
