A Dumb Question But I Don't Know What They're Called

[rdd1952]

As I said, this is kind of a dumb questions but since I don't know what to call this piece, I can't search the internet to find a new one. Basically, the piece I'm talking about is the plastic piece that attaches to a glass cover for a tank. You then cut slots or holes in it for your filter, heater and other things to go through. I am going to be changing filters (from 2 small to 1 larger one) on my 29 gallon so there will be too many holes left in the top of the tank if I don't buy a new piece.

Is it a condensation tray?
Edit Nope, mis-read post... oh well.

I bought one about 2 years ago but the place I bought it at is out of business now. The largest LFS in my area doesn't have them.

Unlucky.
Just done a quick google and they seem to be referred to as 'plastic back strips'.
Have you tried the D.I.Y section?
I'm sure one could easily be bodged up with a condensation tray...

I made my last one out of egg crate. I know...this stuff has more uses than duct tape. LOL I swear by it, and always keep some around.

My recommendation, if you do make one out of egg crate is to attach some fiberglass screen to it, to keep the little ones from jumping out.

Actually, I may just use duct tape to cover the holes. I'm sure that wouldn't be too hard to do.

What you probably have is a all-glass versa-top glass cover. It has a plastic flap for the back. Not sure if they sell the black piece seperately.
