Great idea, thanks for the share! Just wish the video had demonstrated the removal of the bar plus the build.

Very nice! Would be awesome if you would install one of those brush stickers they use for windows under the back of the top glass to avoid bringing dust inside of the tank. It would bash the dust to the back every time you open the lid.

That's a great idea! I’ll try it and see if I like it. Thanks for the idea and watching my video.

Rewatched the video and caught the description note and Found it at Home Depot, thanks.

[@Splashaquatics]

Fantastic!

[@WATCHNVIDS2010]

[@Splashaquatics]

Let me know how it turns out.

[@razinfishes1918]

Pretty neat idea thanks for sharing

[@timmytimtime1284]

Looks good I’ll definitely try it

On your old lid you put the handle on the wrong glass it is supposed to ge put on the smaller pane. When you need to access your tank for intesive maintenance, just remove the lid completely.

excellent Ide i will do the same in my aquariums

[@DougMontgomery-vl6qe]

With the center hinge removed the glass pieces should have a gap. In your video the two pieces now overlap. How did that happen? The rear strip remains the same. I like the idea but would like to know how to grow my glass to overlap like yours does

[@johnkientzler6354]

Yeah looks like that was some fresh cut glass in the video.

[@johnkientzler6354]

So the front section of glass now has to be larger it appears.

THANK YOU lol

[@tonydawson2405]

How did you remove the black trim/connectors from the glass panels? I’m having trouble getting the panels separated.

[@Splashaquatics]

I honestly just separated it using brute force. It was a bit tough to remove but was able to get it off without damaging anything. Good luck!

[@bwood4505]

Hey great idea. Can you send me a link as to where you got the pvc molding and item #. Can’t find it at Lowe’s or Menards.
