Need suggestions on a 40 gallon breeder tank lid I'll be having a Aquaclear 110 on back

You can cut out part of the plastic insert on the back to fit in your filter.

Those don't work correctly they are designed to have a center brace which a 40B doesn't not, they are a 2 piece lid.

I just bought 7 Marineland glass tops from here a few weeks ago, the cheapest I've ever seen them for, even shipping was cheap at $7.99.

I had one on a tank that wasn't center braced. It worked great.

I just relooked at it tough - it does say w/ center brace under 40b. I swear it worked fine on a 30x12. I guess it would sag more on a 36x18?

I found out the hard way after ordering 7 from the Docs and finding the middle sagged something fierce, I was to impatient to read the fine print.

Thanks for pointing it out! Wouldn't have thought there would be much difference in just 6 inches in each dimension.

The marineland ones that HUKIT mentioned above is a good deal. I personally have been using glass from lowes. They cut it to your measurements and usually run me about $5-$8 per tank. Be careful with it since they don't file down the edges but you can glue a wooden cabinet knob on the glass to help lift it off. I usually leave about a 2-3" gap in the rear for the filters.

This is just an idea to save money sort of DIY.
