Versa Glass Top For 5.5 Gallon

[diburning]

I have a 5.5 US gal tank used to hold feeders.

I am planning to put in a crayfish to eat the dead feeders so I don't have to fish them out all the time.

Well, the crayfish can climb up the airline tubing so I need a glass top to keep it in.

I bought one.

5.5 US gal tanks are supposed to be 16" but they are really 15.5"

Well, the glass top I bought was 15.5" but when I bought it home, it didn't fit. Somehow, my tank was 15.25" long. The width was fine, but not the length

I see some reptile screen tops for sale, but they rust and don't stop evaporation...

What should I do??

no, I mean... The glass top is too big lol. actualyl no... my tank is too small lmao.

I think I'll go get a reptile screen cover today even though it will rust lol.

Why dont you just get a condensation tray?

take it to the local glass shop and have them cut off a 1/4 inch. They may even not charge you for it.

None of the lfs around here sell condensation trays.

The glass shop thing is a little too much of a hassle.

I just returned it and got a reptile screen cover for it instead lol. It fits!
