Topper

How do you make a topper so it doesn't fall off? These look really cool, but I'd be afraid of the glass breaking.

If I were to go about doing one I'd get tanks that are the same width so that you don't have to worry about build smtg to hold the tank up
But I'd use velcro so they don't slide but so you can still take them apart

And if the topped isn't that big I don't think you'd have to worry about glass breaking

Oh, okay! Thanks! I have two tanks that are different widths and I was trying to figure out how someone would put them together, but I guess that makes sense to have them simalar.

Thank you so much!

Ofc!

You could also try to make a base or a frame for it out of wood but idk how you'd go about sealing it. I'm sure there's a way you could make a topper though
