Hi All -

I have a Planet Aquarium Classic 12 inch, front open Canopy on a 5-foot 150 gallon tank. see picture.

I am on the short side and opening and closing the front is a little difficult. I am very concerned of the open door slamming down on the tank. So, I wanted to ask the collective what you are doing as far as Supports or Dampers to help with this issue. I haven't weighed the opening door, but it is heavy. I will try and get a weigh soon, as I will need that to size the option I use for this request.

Tanks in Advance!

Go to McMaster Carr website. Look at "gas springs". There should also be tech chart to help you pick correct one. They also have the mounting posts.
