I'm preparing a 10 gallon tank to keep a betta in - don't have the betta yet.
I'd like to put a glass lid on the tank. It's a rimless tank with a HOB.
I'm not sure if it's possible to have the glass lid cut with a rectangular section cut out of one corner to make space for the HOB, I'm going to ask at the glass place today - but if it is possible, will such a space be a problem in terms of the fish jumping out of the tank?
If it's not possible to have a rectangular section cut out, I can cut the glass to about an inch narrower than the tank, which means there's an open strip all along the back. I'm guessing that would be a problem with possible jump-escapes. What would be a plan to cover a gap like that neatly?
I've got an existing plastic hood which covers the tank completely but it looks rather horrid so the planned glass lid is for aesthetic reasons only
