What do you think, did that improve the fish room or what? Here is the link to Steve Poland Cichlids’ video that I learned from kzread.info/dash/bejne/qZyr08asdpetmaw.html

Cool idea!! I should make these, I'd be devastated if one of my Bettas jumped!! I do have a TON of floating plants but I guess it could still happen? I'm confused as to how you get the handles to stay on the glass?

And I'm loving them so far. I don't miss my old crummy lids or my saran wrap and tape - hah!

This is the best looking result I've seen of the corner moulding videos. Thank you for making this and caring about appearances!

I love the sliding lid! Ive been searching for a good lid idea that is easy and functional yet appealing.. Thankyou!!

Awesome simple solution! Thanks for sharing Taylor 🤗🤩

The best part of fishkeeping are these improv ideas that are being brought to life - and it's getting betta everyday! This is an awesome tip! Cheers!

Superb. Definitely doing this with my juvi tanks. Thank you to you both.

This is fantastic! Simple, yet, incredibly effective. I have been looking for an affordable way to make a lid for my aquarium, as mine is such a pain to get into, so I will 100% be trying this out! Thank you 😁

Gorgeous! I love it.

Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. That design is awesome! I have no doubt that this will catch on with many fishkeepers who had run into the same issue you did. The videos you made for the big fish event in New Jersey looks great. Many of my friends who went raved as to how good it was. Some said the Bettas displayed there were AMAZING! I also heard that Joey Mullen (The King Of DIY) was there. I hope you had had the pleasure of meeting him as he's an inspiration to the fish hobby and a great guy, too.

Thank you for posting your video. I was looking for an inexpensive way to make a nice looking lid. I used the same plastic material (bought at Home Depot) you did and I spray painted it with flat black acrylic paint. Then to prevent the paint from being scratched off, I applied black electrical tape to the top of the plastic piece where the glass slides back and forth. Works great, easy to do, and inexpensive. $2.50 for plastic, $25 for the 2 pieces of glass cut at a local glass/window making shop. Instead of attaching the handle to the glass, I used the same plastic material, spray painted it flat black, and then cut 2 pieces of plastic. One to fit the front of one piece of glass, and the other piece to fit the back of the other piece of glass. This way the front glass can slide backwards, and the back piece can slide forwards. I glued the plastic to the glass using Gorilla super glue. Now easy to reach inside the front and back of the tank. You can use a hack saw, or fine tooth saw to cut the plastic... or a sharp utility knife - box cutter. Use sand paper to smooth off cut edges. Looks nice and professional. Any color paint can be used to match your aquarium trim.

That looks awesome!

You’ve inspired me to consider getting a Betta for my office! I had 2 Bettas when I was in high school, but as the two Bettas within 4 years would suggest, it was a shameful time, full of lots of misinformation and likely some suffering fish. 😥 I feel like I need to make amends with a properly sized tank, real plants, and a reputable breeder this time. Thanks for your videos! I absolutely love them! ❤️

I really enjoy your videos!!!!

I think by your post you mean "saving a betta from the cruelty of the big box "pet store"". Terrible the way they get treated. For every one we save into good homes they will bring in two more...it sucks. I am getting tired of putting new 5G tanks or 20G sorority tanks all over the house to save them lol.

I made these lids after seeing your video. The glass lids look so cool now that I can see all my fish from above. Anyone who wants to try it yourself I’d recommend going to Lowes for the custom glass. If you buy a panel of glass from them they have a free cutting service. I bought a 16X20 for only like $8. (Just make sure you account for the molding in the cause I didn’t and had to go back to the store and ask them to cut the glass just a bit smaller so it would fit on the tank). Also I found you can just use a permanent black marker for the molding if you don’t wanna use spray paint on the molding.

@emihayashi7725

What width did you remove from the glass for proper fit? ¼"? ½"?

The part where you used the plastic part was from DIY King Joey. I watched it a few weeks ago. Because I was wanting to make my own fish tank.

Very interesting I might try these when I get the chance to build my first dedicated rack of tanks
