Looks better than mine at least. I hate that the only solutions are overpay for a custom or essentially make it out of cheap screen door.

Is it held by some clips?

I got some of these from Amazon and just did the measurements for it sitting inside the tank on top of these supports. Not too bad in that the lid isn't above the glass, but you still have to see these clips now. Le sigh..

Nope. I thought when I ordered the “rimless” it would be different to the rimmed I bought before and come with clips but nope.

Yeah, one of the problems with rimless is that if you have a lid it either has to sit inside and be visible or sit on top and be visible.
And if you don’t have a lid…

Thanks!! Though that must be a mistake? $7.19 do they mean $719?? It is an aquarium accessory after all.

(I might be a bit bitter after looking at light mounting options on BRS recently)

Mine cost about $30 and I'm very happy with it. Not the best looking but it do the job

And that includes the cutout space for the plank! Some of the specialty places charge that much just to add a cutout!

I'm also happy (especially that it's done), just whining because I usually have it in my mind that I'm going to create the Mona Lisa, but instead I create

I was looking at an estimated price for my tank and with cuts and everything (10 to 20 each cut) it was already going for 226, there is no way I would pay that for now

Mona Lisa?? You wanted your lid to be disappointingly average and smaller then you expected??

Well, at least the way it is no one will be throwing soup at my tank. Silver linings!

And agree, it didn't measure up to expectations, although that may have been influenced by the 100 people clamoring to get a brief look.
