Hey so I'm building a 60x24x 22 tall tank and I wanted to put a nice tank lid on the tank. I don't want those unsightly plastic clips on the glass and was wondering if someone had a DIY idea for how to keep it inside the glass. Kind of how the red sea tank cover has those small black holders that keep it on the glass. Looking for ideas!

You could USA a router on a piece of acrylic to make a long channel then a lip like the plastic clips then cut in to as many clips as you need. Or you could 3D print them.

Hey yea thats fair. I don't have a router and was hoping for a slightly easier way. What diy kit would you recommend using?
