About this Product
This lid measures 35" x 10 7/8" and is cut to fit rimless tank clips available on amazon. Please measure your tank from the inside glass to inside glass and account for the thickness of the lid clips. I believe you will need the 8mm lid clips Message me if you require different measurements.
Made to order, hand cut aquarium lids. These are made from clear double wall polycarbonate. These are hand cut by me and make excellent aquarium lids. The material is made for greenhouses so it works wonderfully in a planted or reef type tank. Most listings are for Aqueon tanks unless otherwise stated. We are adding Top Fin tank lids now. It is important to select the correct tank manufacturer as the dimensions may differ. For anything other than standard AQUEON tanks or those specifically stating Top Fin in the description, I will need the exact dimensions of the tank’s lid ledge. If you require a size other than those listed please check my other listings or message me for a quote. Message me if you require custom cut outs for filters, tubing, cords, plants, etc.
Sending a picture of the top of your tank is very helpful.
Please email me pics of your tank with lid on for use on our website, www.buildalid.com

Meet the Maker
My name is Tom and I have been fascinated by the aquarium hobby since I was a toddler when my family had an Oscar tank in the living room. Ever since I can't remember a time when I did not have an aquarium in my life. Most recently I built a wall of 12, 40 gallon aquariums in my home office. Complete with a central air system, drilled tanks, and an automatic water change system that I made myself using a Wi-Fi sprinkler controller and ice machine solenoids, and of course I made my own lids. After making about my 15th lid I found myself getting really good at it, and I ended up with a lot of left over material sitting in the garage. I offered to make some lids for my local aquarium club members, and the response was amazing! So much that I quickly ran out of material and had to purchase more. I've since drastically improved my methods for gluing hinges and cutting the material. I am learning more about packaging, shipping, and sourcing materials every day. But most importantly I am having fun as I found a way to incorporate my beloved hobby into a business. Wish me luck!

Please message me if you do not see what you need as chances are that I can make it.
I can make lids for rimless tanks. You will need to purchase the appropriate sized rimless tank clips on amazon. You will need to know the thickness of your glass. Most are 6-10mm. Message me with the length and width of your tank from the inside of the glass or if you have the clips already, measure with the clips on, just let me know how you measured.
I can make lids for bow-front tanks. I will need you to make me a template out of cardboard and mail it to me.
