What does everyones 55 gallon tank set up look like? I’m getting one soon and was looking for some inspiration and ideas of what to do in it.

Also a question about the 55 gallon tanks where did you get your lid and what is it?

I don't have a 55g aquarium, but I can speak about the lids. My personal preference is to use Aqueon glass aquarium lids. They come in all sizes and most pet stores with a fish section carry them.

this is my 55 gal
i made my own lids for my tank
mine has a center brace so i ordered four pieces of plexiglass and taped two of them together to make a lid for each side
you can put a handle on but i didn’t because i constantly flip my lids because they tend to droop down

I love your tank lex!!

thank you!

This is an awesome set up lex, do you have any problems with suction cups failing and dropping the hanging pieces? Never felt like I could trust them lol

i hate to brag but i feel like i am the queen of suction cups
lots of people don’t like them and can’t get them to work but i always get them to work
i usually grab a pretty small bowl and put a little bit of water in it
then i make sure there’s nothing on the suction cups like sand or anything by wiping it off (usually with the bottom of my t shirt lol!)
i stick my finger in the water and just wipe it around the interior of the suction cup
i push it onto the glass with some pressure
and then i kinda pull on it (it shouldn’t come off) and push it back on
i “yank” it like that a couple times and it never fails me!

Alright, I'll give em a try, maybe hang some nets up
