Does the lid fit that?! . I'm looking at sand, someone mention black diamond blasting sand. That's fine, right?

Thats perfect! No the lid is 72x27x27

Awww :/. That's to bad. So close.

They are 50lb bags so depends on how deep you want it?

Umm...couple inches at least. I'll Probably have the sand slope down from the back to the front of the tank. Maybe, 4-5 inches in the back, down to 2 inches. A small slope.

This picture is bowfront sizes. The 155 & 175 are basically the same like you said. Just the 175 is a taller aquarium correct? Meaning the hood that fits the 155 should fit the 175? Does that sound right? Lol.

Well I guess it may work. Doesnt hurt to try! Ive been looking for you one everywhere

 

[mikem691]

That's what I was thinking.

I've literally been spending hours doing the same thing. Trying to compare sizes lol. It might hurt my bank though if it doesn't fit ha. But I wonder if it would, I still can't really find the one on aqueon.com that fits the 155 gallon bow. If it the versa hinge top one?

 

[Tx Oscar Lover]

That's what I was thinking.

The dimensions of the 155 is the exact same as mine, expect for mine is about 4-5 inches taller. I'm thinking the 155 gallon hood will fit this one.

 

[mikem691]

I would call and ask before ordering. but i think it would.

Yes the 155 will fit it! I double checked. Why didnt I notice that before

 

[Tx Oscar Lover]

It will!!! That's the exact conclusion I came to, we needed to double team it to figure it out haha. Okay, so now I need to find one...I can't find one on that aqueon site. All that was listed was a product number.
