Thank you for this! even 7 years later Comment from : TODubs

Just to confirm, these panels allow sufficient lighting through for plants? Comment from : JSpade85

I think it would be easier to work inside the tank if you use left and right side pieces instead of front/back No hinge, just a handle to slide it to the side Cut out feeding hole maybe instead of having to lift lid Comment from : Brent Reed

why not use Glass? Comment from : Emi Hayashi

A blade (razor, box cutter) usually helps to remove that backing from the tape Comment from : Gary Coddington

And of course brI went and bought plexiglass for $90 and now I’m the one pulling my hair hahhahahahaa Comment from : myrainbow2u

Hi Cory: I made covers for the holes on the top of my acrylic aquarium The covers don’t lay flat but turn up slightly at the ends Will they eventually flatten out? Thanks Comment from : Under The Bus

Definitely going to be making some custom covers now I used to drive a lowered Celica too! Such wonderful cars while they last (I'm in the rust belt) Comment from : wheelbite14

Can we use acrylic sheet?? Comment from : bobbie73584

Cut orientation was the most valuable tip for me Hinge was a brilliant unexpected mod "Ghetto 3m" was hilarious Comment from : Steve Schario

Still using this to this day Best lids I've ever used lol Comment from : Holys Moly

Loving the oldies but you gotta wear eye protection! As a fellow diy-er, wear eye protection! Stuff in eyes really sucks! Keep up your awesomeness! Comment from : Kurtis Stutzman

6 years laterhow did they stand up? My OCD would HAVE to have the handle in the centrelol Comment from : Deb Kleinschmidt

Dude I was about to build a whole wooden canopy!!!!!!!! #lifesaver Comment from : rogel cera

Definitely doing this this year so I can hole saw some spots to grow strawberries out of my fish tank Comment from : Echoes Vayne

greatest tool for peeling off double sided tape is the tip/point of an Exacto bladegets right under there quick Comment from : metalhead

cello tape over the top will pull the it off Comment from : Michael

Watch some basic table saw safety videos Surprised that whole sheet didnt get thrown back at you Be careful man Comment from : Mike Kelisek

Thanks You just saved me about $4000! Comment from : Richard Zubroff

How do you make a lid for a bow front tank?? I’m sure it’s like math sorcery! Comment from : Monica Harmonica

Ok so its a very old video but the way you want the ridges lined is not the way for maximum strength For maximum strength you want as many ridges and having them as short as possible The strength is in the ridges so the more you have, the more strength you have You could argue that it gives less insulation but really it will be so little difference that you will never notice it and if insulation is so important you could close the holes for better insulation but really if that is a big concern you most likely go for a different type of lid Comment from : rabbi1991

Thank you for the videos! 🙏 Comment from : Rizzle Roo Glass

The tape fight was EPIC!brbrYou’ve come a long way buddy Congrats to all your successes! Comment from : STELLASCUTENESS

I'm from the UK with a bow front 180 litre with a failed light unit which costs new around £300 so I'm giving this a go with a cheap light refit Thanks for the video really like the idea of the hinges Comment from : Des Futcher

lol you could use single sided industrial tape as hinge Comment from : Rene046

Hi Cory, thanks for all the help you have given through these videos Do you think you could do an update on tank lids and feature Master breeder Dean's clear tank lids? Comment from : Occy

18:40 Granny with the needle Comment from : Aqua Science

What thickness do you use? Comment from : Boss

just ccut off another piece and use the glue to get it off Comment from : קרן חיון

dude you got to protect your eyes Comment from : Panduka Koswatta

What's your opinion for screen cover lid on a 40 gallons breeder Aquarium? Comment from : Fat Man

I watched all your videos Or do I thought How the heck did I miss this one All the failed DIY All the money on materials We won't say "wasted" We will say "Waiting to be repurposed" Comment from : yiacrazy

I'm having the hardest time finding these sheets right now 😩 Comment from : J

Hinges DEFINITELY keep your loose tops from falling to the floor (beakage/cracking) or falling inside the tank (splash and mess) brbrBought a 4x8 from Menards for about $60, making new tops today!!br Comment from : Chris G

Wait a minute I'm a bit confused At 3:00 you state the ridges should go front to back perpendicular to your body, but at the 10:00 demo, the ridges going the side to side, lengthwise of the tank So evidently, the 10:00 demo is for 10 or 20 gal tanks, which go the complete length of the tank Comment from : Chris G

Will it affect light performance Comment from : Mauricio Ramoz Jr

Thanks for vid! We just added this type of lid to a 24L Betta tank Do you ever drill ventilation holes in the polycarbonate? Wondering if I should drill some for my Betta tank? Comment from : Simon Ralston

Made a lid of this materialdue to me being rather tall, the lid is reflecting the light directly into my eyes :c otherwise it's rather good looking and has very very little effect on the illumination inside the tank Just make sure to get straight panels at the store I got a slightly warped one due to it being stored vertically at an angle So one corner is constantly lifting up but a little piece of scotch tape does the trick Comment from : Davis

SAFETY GLASSES!!!! Corey should have had them on When using a table saw, you can have little chucks fling out at you ez af Had that been my saw, I would have taken you off of it as soon as you turned it on without glasses Comment from : MrGrombie

I only have a Lowe's in my area and they do not carry these panels for greenhouse use but they do carry the plain versions will that do or should I still try to find the version you used in this video ? Comment from : joseph jenkins

I may have missed it in the videobrHow is it with light getting to plants? Comment from : Roll2

Does polycarbonate block any of the light from penetrating through? They sure don't look clear, but maybe that doesn't matter? Comment from : Mathias

Thank you for this! Great idea and good demonstration Comment from : Brad Dehler

Cut hinge in half and put towards each end Comment from : fred charles

I know this is an old video, and I'm not pointing @ you Cory Use Eye and Ear protection! Always! I'm an old school auto mechanic and have learned the hard way about that I haven't had long term eye damage, but I've had tinnitus for over 10 years now and it really sucks ( on a good day) A trip to the local Med Center or ER to get plastic removed from you eye(s) is no fun and with the cost of Healthcare nowadays can really hurt financially too When you are picking up, or ordering, your cover material, get some goggles and ear protection Thanks for the DIY ideas and stay safe out there people Comment from : real karfixer

If you like woodworking just look for woodprix Comment from : Tomeka Pompey

the common knowledge says use a fine plywood blade, but REVERSE it on the saw Comment from : Paula kreinberg

Can you cut one for a bow front? Comment from : Satsaunga

The super secret trick to pulling double sided tape is to cuss Comment from : ddurham158

will these bow over time? Comment from : Alyssa Costantino

I made it with woodprix ! Comment from : Carmelina Katzman

Use a reversed plywood blade to cut these  receommended several times in the Q & A section of the product  Also this does block UV rays  Hopefully the Home Depot can do the cutting for me Comment from : Jim Westervelt

Anyone in Canada have a source for this polycarbonate? Comment from : HappyMom

Excellent solution to avoid the costly glass tops Thanks Comment from : bernard christensen

I love that you kept the tape backing struggle in So relatable Keep up the great job with the videos Comment from : ANegativeAtheist -

Just curious about how you level your tanks/ support as I understand that is critical to non-leakage which is particularly important inside a regular wood floor apartment? Thanks!! Comment from : Marcus da Silva

Just wondering, this material should intensify my led light or damper it down? Comment from : Chad Garrison

Use a Dremel Sawmax We did that for two lids on my 60 gallon Comment from : Jamie Mendoza

Some nice "Classic Cory" Comment from : John Zimmermann

how much this affect the lighting for a planted tank? Comment from : Sandy

How much will this material affect PAR? Comment from : Phil Quezzy

Use an Exacto knife to separate the peeling from the tape Comment from : Robert Jordan

How strong are these? Do you think they're strong enough to support about 40-50lbs of cat on a 12x30 aquarium?brbrMy cats are convinced the aquarium is for their personal entertainment Comment from : Naias Raj

Link for the hinge? Comment from : Melissa Sharrai

Dude I'm a noob to the fish tank coffee but I enjoy watching your Channel I've learned a lot I started with your basic convict cichlid Comment from : PETER V

Hahacut on anglepeel at tip :) Comment from : Patricia E Forker

Use a sharp razor blade to pick at the corner to get the backing off of the double sided tape!! Comment from : Steveo88

Wears them hem safety glasses !!! Comment from : Raditz Adept

Has anyone used this material as a lid on a planted aquarium? Wondering how much light is lost Comment from : Joe C

You can use a razor blade to remove the other side of the double sided tape Or you could just drill and bolt the handle on to the lid I didn’t realize I could have used my CNC mill/router skills to make aquarium tanks and equipment Comment from : JA

The light reduction is too much I think I will have to make it using some type of mesh Comment from : Milos Stevanovic

The trick to using that specialty industrial tape is to simply use silicone instead Lol Or a stainless bolt and washer into the bottom of the knob Great video overall though I've got a super awkward lid/lighting system I need to replace along with a couple 10g quarantine tops unfortunately these panels are $76 per 8' length in Canada, still cheaper than glass tho Thanks! Comment from : Ryan H

Was just pondering getting a lid to cut back on evaporation I'm liking this idea much more than buying a lid for an aquarium that will eventually get replaced! Thanks again you are the man! Comment from : Alex Royster

This panel transmits only 80 of light, The king of DIY reccomend to use polycab panel So wich one do u think is better? Comment from : Tech Pro

I have cfl lights on my fish tanks Will this hold up to the heat fromnthe bulbs? Comment from : Hope Brady

I haven't seen that car in forever Do you still even have it? Comment from : Fraginator 1369

Watch the pinkie,kkkk Comment from : pedro santos

I repair cellphones every day We use industrial adhesives when replacing the screens I found the best tool for removing tape backing to be an X-ACTO knife Comment from : Brian K

The trick is to use the edge of a razor blade or a box knife to lift the strip Comment from : Carla Rybicki

Just wonderingsince you are drilling holes for air hoses and heater cord, why not buy stainless steel screws and drill another hole for your knob and true it up nice Comment from : TJ Tanks

Put the blade in backwards, used to cut plastic and vinyl Comment from : david diehl
