I'm ordering a new top frame for my 55g and aquarium silicon from over the top in Mi. Waiting response to my email so it may take awhile. Silicon was $8 for 10 oz tube, top frame was $15 retail. $8 wholesale but that required ordering 36. I presume shipping will not be a 1 oz stamp. LOL. But if you curious let me know.

Shipping was $12 lol

What was really surprising is that even tank manufacturers didn't sell top frames separately. One stated it was due to liability issues.
