92 Gallon Corner Tank Canopy (HELP!!)

[supra1997]

I'm buying a 92 gallon Corner tank and need the canopy for the top of the tank. Does anyone know where to find this? I've searched the web and haven't came up with anything. Maybe I'm having a web search fart and its right in front of me!!! Either way, any help would be awesome! Thanks!!!!

If you know who made the tank, I would contact them.

Here's the glass versa top:

I don't know if I'd trust the reliability of the site though. Maybe you can find one from a more reputable dealer?

Bah, I think you're out of luck for anything but DIY.

Oh well, I have too may other projects to be screwing around with a lid for this one. Maybe when I move. Thanks guys...

Yeah 92g corner is a specialty tank, it is an odd size so the hood has to be custom made, there are places that make them but you are looking at a few hundred bucks min

 

[aakaakaak]

Would it really be that hard to get a canopy wide enough to match then make a bracket over the two corners to support it?

 

[supra1997]

You mean a stand? You could possibly file the stand upside down and then have the brackets on each side. But since your going to drop $300+ on a new stand you might as well just build a custom one....

 

[aakaakaak]

I was talking about brackets you could set on the corners of the tank, so it would support the light canopy.

This is a canopy I'm talking about.....

I'm not trying to suspend my light or anything like that. Looking to make it look cleaner.

Is it possible you could use one of these hinges and have glass or plexiglass cut to fit and then find a light that fits just behind the hinge? I assume there is a rim on the tank that the glass could rest on. I would have the glass cut a little square on the two side points so that air can get in. (Hope you can visualize that)

Thats not the problem here. I think everyone is confused. I just need the wood canopy part. Not hinges, or lights etc. With the pre-built canopy I could just rest it on the lip of the tank and be done. Basically do the make a canopy for this tank is my question. I haven't been able to find any so far.

 

[aakaakaak]

I get it now. You're pretty much restricted to custom bent wood. Good luck.

I have a great company out of Detroit that does custom tanks, stands and canopies if you need a referral but you are talking big bucks. I would go with a more standard tank where you can get a matching stand and canopy for much less. Something for the 48" rectangle footprint would be easiest. 55,70t,90t
