I am trying to make a glass canopy for my tank that is 72 x 24 x 24. This will be similar to a perfecto glass cover. This will be full length since I don't have a middle insert.

I am wondering thickness of glass and where I can purchase all the parts in GTA

If you don't have a center brace (middle insert), a piece of 3mm thick glass, with the length of 72" long would definitely "bow" down a bit.


Try contact this place as I usually buy individual piece of glass from here.

Name: Glass Design
Phone#: 416-293-1833
Location: 63 Silver Star Blvd, Scarborough. Unit E5, M1V 5E5

You could call them up and get a quote on the phone. Owner do speak Cantonese!!

In case you would like to try acrylic. http://www.plasticworld.ca/index.asp?pid=5



Hope that might help.

But my time precious, I have to keep it so I can spend time with my girlfriend, so that she does not yell after me...

Thanks for all the reply, I tried buying one from big al's but they don't sell it.

On the internet, since it is glass no one wants to ship one.

If you are aware of someplace, I can buy it, please supply details

The glass store that I mentioned above is close to Midland and Finch.

If you get the glass, all you need maybe the (black plastic) side track for the (sliding-type) canopy. Available at Big Als.
