Where can I buy an acrylic Aquarium topper?

There has got to be a store that sells acrylic toppers. Does anyone know of any? i would love to add a large second level to my new set up.

I've only seen screen ones for reptiles. Depending on the size of your enclosure, you might be able to knock the bottom out of a front opening terrarium.

Can you make one? You can buy sheets of acrylic (Plexiglas) and polycarbonate (Lexan) at home improvement stores such as Lowes and Home Depot.

They'll even cut it to size for you ^•^

It might be cheaper to make your own as others have suggested. I'm contemplating it myself.

I see what you are talking about now. Those are super cool, but a bit pricey...

I actually went on Amazon and ordered two sheets of Lexan (acrylic/plexiglass). I bored holes in them for the bubbler tubing and set them down in the top of my tank. They've been fantastic for keeping humidity in. I keep a screened lid over them because my crabs think they are escape artists and my cats are eagerly awaiting a crabby prison break.

You can order the sheets made to measure or as close to the measurements as you need. It was fairly simple for me to score the sheet along one edge and break it off with pliers so that it would fit down into the lip of the tank.
