svetilda Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 I need covers for 7.5g Mr.Aqua tanks. I looked and it seems that they don't exist? If they don't exist then what is the best way to cover 3 or 4 tanks staying next to each other? I may ask DH to cut them from plexiglass but not sure what size the covers must be. The size of the tank is 12x12. Maybe make 2 covers (if 3 tanks) or 3 covers (if 4 tanks)? Please, give me some ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Some people use cling wrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibebian Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Custom Cut plexiglass, though the inevitable warp is annoying. Other than that, frame clips and custom cut regular pane glass? Not cheap but not expensive either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oem Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Some of my tanks have plexiglass and as Ibebien mentioned they will warp or curve downward. I just turn them over when needed. Lexan is similar but more expensive and but I don't believe it will warp. Not a big fan of a pane of glass for the obvious reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibebian Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Will need to check out Lexan. If it won't warp and is just as easy to cut into various shapes I may try that next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 4 12x12 cubes and purchased these support clips and went to my local glass place. You could do the same with plexiglass. http://www.ebay.com/itm/390877876243?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT svetilda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svetilda Posted August 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Thank you very much, guys! I'll probably buy those clips and ask DH to cut the plexi covers for me for each tank. I know about the curve. I have same problem and do too just turn them every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
