Best custom lid

[rob1976]

Hi
I am am wondering which is the best place get a custom lid for my WB 165.6 frag tank. Which is your favorite Clear Lids, TopLids any others?

I've ordered from both Kraken and Octo lids with zero problems.

Both fairly quick turnaround for custom work.

Octo lids replaced my clearview lids that was a peice of crap. Octo was perrrtfect. Wish I used them the first time around.

Clearlids was decent for the price on my ext 170.

I haven't tried the others to compare, but I've been very happy with my lid from Kraken. Process was straightforward, and the lid was built exactly to my requested specs.

Kracken was good, but they are not doing any custom orders currently.

have you ordered from them recently? how long did it take?

 

[Flyangler33]

I ordered from them probably 2-3 months ago paid for the expedited, it took 7 days if I recall. My buddy talked to them the other day about a custom lid and they arent doing custom orders currently is what they told him.

If it's a WB frag tank commercially sold and by custom lid you mean some cutouts, I don't think that is considered "custom" by lidmakers. Maybe you want more extensive alterations. Kraken Reef gets my vote anyway.

 

[Flyangler33]

What cell said, if you mean custom by like an off dimension they will likely not do it. But if its just cut outs for certain things like lighting mounts etc they will do it!

 

[Shnetts]

Yeah I know it’s not custom just specific cut outs. It’s already ordered and all that. Was just curious how long it was taking others to get there. Was hoping it wasn’t going to be the full 3-4 week estimate

 

[MR294]

My lid was delivered almost exactly 4 weeks to the day.

 

[Justfebreezeit]

Mine was 3 weeks I believe
