Well i bought an oscar and put it in a bowl..then a 10 gal and bought a second then moved them to a 30 gal then a 55 then my current 75 then they died

finally started working on it after about 2-3 years of being dry docked. Made a new rim for it to replace the busted plastic one, hanging in the garage awaiting some final paint touch ups then on to the tank for the last time and a test fill in the back yard

Im pretty new to modding aquarium things but from the look of it I would think that taking some of the florescent sheathing sold at a homedepot (or anywhere that sells lighting)with a slightly lager inner diameter than the bulb, cut to length and cut down the length so you have a semicircular...

So heres what I got.. its 1/16" walled sqare tube with the lower wall cut out so as to recess the glass inside with a 3/8" round bar stock as a center brace..just need to clean up the welds, paint, silicone it down and test it in the back yard, but whatcha think?

Well the glass is 5/16" and its a 4' tank...the original top did have a cross support witch broke during a move ..and since I can bow the glass with little pressure..im thinking ill just make a new one out of tube stock I have

Thanks for the input I guess ill be making a new one. :)

I have my speculations on what would happen if I were to take the plastic rim off the top of my 75gal and then fill it up.. Just currious if anyone has tried/succeeded/failed.
