    I went to my local glass shop and had them cut me four piece of 1/4" tempered glass for my aquarium. They used a water jet to cut out an opening for the filter and two openings for the heater cords.

    Works perfectly.

      Good ideal, how much did they cost you?

        I can't remember exactly. But I could not find a top for my aquarium that I liked anywhere. So it was my only option.

          Which part of town do you live in?

          Which shop was it?

          My 15 year old 75g need some new tops.
          I ate my fish that died.

            I don't live in Houston right now. I live in Columbus. So my shop was in Columbus.

              Let me know if you find someone in Houston who does that.

                Dorothy : How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
                Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
                Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

                  Yup Virginia's daughter owns a glass shop on FM 1488 called Glass Depot. Her name is Kristen. She has a glass that minerals can not stick to. It's tempered but it will stay clear with jut the wipe of a damp wrag. It's a high end glass made for showers but should be well worth it. I hate how minerals dull the glass blocking the light and that stuff can not be removed. Her # is 936-321-1001.

                  Her she is drag racing top alcohol last year. Can't wait for the races this year.

                    Thanxxx....John . I've been looking for a glass shop for quite some time now . I found the hinge at City Pets but just couldn't find a glass shop . I'm going to give Glass depot a call as soon as I get back into town .

                      You'll need 3/16 glass for most of the hinges. I had one made recently and it turned out great. I used this hinge: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...YA31T82XNZBWZM
                      Glass Cages has a clear hinge I wanted, but the shipping was too high.

                        You can call Bobbit Glass Company 1020 W. Gray 713-523-7369. I had them cut some glassfor my 56 gallon but it was not the tampered glass. They have all types pf glass wish I had known about the tampered glass at the time that I purchased mine. Give them a call with the measurements and they will give you a price. You can get the hinges from Dr. Foster and Smith.
