ClearView Aquarium Lids Master Thread - It all started RIGHT HERE!!!

[ClearView Lids Verified Sponsor]

We just had to see a full FTS with our ClearView Lid on this Pentagon Corner tank. It looks AWESOME! Unique shaped lids like this do require either CAD drawings OR an accurate cardboard template to make, but the results are WELL WORTH IT!!

I sent a pm on these for a Aqueon 125, it would require 3 small panels because it has braces but never got a reply. Only two of the panels require a opening for a cord. also an opening for my feeder.
The look really good.

Hi Dave - Adam and Steve are on well-deserved breaks, so I will follow up for them! We've added a new section on our website for Aqueon tanks, starting with your request - please see the ordering link below. Please keep in mind braced tanks such as large Aqueon models require us to produce multiple lids, which is significantly more expensive for us than a single, large lid. As the Artfully Acrylic CFO, I can assure you we price each product to the bare minimum that we possibly can. We are constantly fighting Chinese knockoffs - such as Innovative Marine's recent copy of our Reef Crest Series - and to counter that, I ensure we operate at a break even each year, without profit.

But I digress - please find the Aqueon 125 ClearView Lid ordering information below:

Thank you!

Just placed my order. Woot!

It's Christmas at my house as I finally received my lid today and let me tell you, I could not be any happier right now! I absolutely love it! It looks amazing, fits my tank perfectly and the quality is top notch. It's a thousand times better than the flimsy BRS mesh top I've had up until now. Thanks for including the modified feed door as I know I had asked to omit it right before you guys came up with the simple fix. It was a real nice surprise! Very happy customer here and I would jump to recommend this product and these guys to anyone considering it. Thanks again!

Do you mind explaining how the modified feed door works? I couldn't quite pick up on it from the previous posts. Do you need to lift the whole lid to slide the door out?

The attachment snapped onto the feed door and also has 2 tabs on either side, so once assembled, there were 4 tabs. The feed door then slides onto the lid, secured in place by these 4 tabs. You do have to lift the side of the lid to slide the door on and off but I don't find that bothersome. I mostly feed through the mesh anyways with a baster. I'd take pictures of the 2 pieces to the feed door but I superglued them together already. Hopefully you get a better idea. It's a nice little fix.

That helps a ton. Thanks!

Your lid looks great! Almost my twin.

Now that I read that about the new feed door, i'm glad I got the original.
I'm still thinking of adding a small hinge.

Ok thx

What's the best way to get a response from these guys? I pm'd them last week and still haven't heard back.

 

[Meldrath]

I had great communication with them over their FB page. Try that, and just remember to always be polite - they are a small shop with probably a huge backlog due to the popularity of their products.

Sorry Jon, we missed this PM. We sent you a reply. Thanks.

Thanks! We appreciate the input and comments =). Small shop and big backlog indeed! But we are working through it all and shipping tanks and lids daily to their new owners. It's quite a juggle, but we try to make sure we don't miss anybody.

Ordered my lid for my 45 gallon JBJ Rimless AIO... just got my email for some cutout questions for cords equipment and such that I did even think about. I'm glad they said something as I would have realized after I recieved it. I can't wait for mine. Hopefully I get it in the next couple of weeks.

 

[reefrf]

Ordered mine for my 250 and looking forward to receiving it soon. I ordered it on July 21st.
