thought this was a cheap good idea. :D
i used to have warped plexiglass tops,now i have these.
i had some old jalousie glass out of old windows.
cut it to the length i wanted.then sanded the edges.
then i drilled holes and used little screws with nuts to bolt plastic mirror clips to the tank.
all i have to do is spin them around to remove the glass.

Very similar to what I have on my acrylic 300................only difference is that you have a way to hold yours down!!!

I might have to do that as well:D

Another work of art :thumbsup: .

I like the clip idea.

You can use the adhesive for rear veiw mirrors if you want handles on it :D .

Thanks !! I'm currently looking for ideas to cover the openings on my 300 acrylic.

Do you have any problems with the water condensing on the glass and flowing to the sides and onto the top of the tank?
