I'm going to make a top for my tank. I kind of have special circumstances that makes it so I want to do something a bit differently than most people. It'll make sense after it's made, but it's kinda hard to explain until you guys see it
Most of the lid will sit on corner tabs built in to the lid, but part of it, I want the lid to be supported from something inside the tank. I saw on BRS that they suggested magnets or siliconing pieces of acrylic. I'd prefer to go the siliconed acrylic tabs route, but I don't know where to get acrylic thick enough to work. I'd probably want something like 3/8 or half inch thick. I'd imagine it'd cost a fortune to buy a sheet of it, just to cut some tiny pieces off. Anyone have any ideas of what I could use?
