Is artfully acrylic the only option for that style cover? It's for a 66g.

That'd be awesome Goober. What are your design plans? Acrylic frame with plastic net?
Shoot me a PM and let me know you'd want for it. Maybe we can offset one another's cost going in on it.

I wouldn't use Acrylic it bows too much. Polycarbonate aka as lexan would be better for tops. To bad I hate working with lexan it melts when being cut.

artfully acrylic or octo aquatics. I think octo aquatics is in AZ so shipping will be cheaper.
