There is an old (2007) thread out there on another forum, which explains how to make a sliding glass top for a tank. If anyone is considering this:
1. Lowe's is not going to be carrying the plastic molding much longer; it is on clearance at 57 cents for an 8 foot length.
2. The above mentioned thread is short the first and last number of the item number. The Lowe's item number for the outside corner tile molding is: 0-1141511635-4
It can be cut with a utility knife to the length you need, just score it over and over until you get through it.
Due to the missing figures, it took me 2 trips to Lowe's, with 2 trips to Home Depot in between, to figure out what the heck it is I'm supposed to purchase, lol.
I do plan to paint mine black to match the tank before I glue it in. Then, as I am not an accurate measure person, I will haul the tank to the glass store and let THEM do the measuring.
Just thought this may help someone out there.
