By far the best acrylic lids you will find and at the best price. I have purchased a total of four lids, three on my 125 gallon and one on my 20 gallon and they are perfect. The measurements perfect. They look 100% better than artfully acrylics do and they’re easy to communicate

What was the turn around time to receive the lid?
About three weeks, on both of them. I got the water box one first. That was around Black Friday and I know he was covered up. Everybody was ordering them for their watebox 20’s. You won’t see any complaints on the waterbox Facebook page. The second one about three weeks as well. I had to send him the measurements, I don’t know if he had a template for my 125 gallon or not but three weeks, you can’t beat that. Great communication also. That’s a big deal to me. Really straightforward, he let you know how long it’s going to take what he can and can’t do. Top notch from top to bottom, great lids and customer service. Clearview lids/artfully acrylic would have cost about $200 more not to mention horrible customer service and if you scroll through here you’ll see a lot of complaints about them. And their lids are not very good looking at all. Just being honest, go with Kraken. You won’t be disappointed
 
Nice. So yea the turn around time is not bad at all. I waited 6 weeks for a lid I got from Top Lids and I sent in the measurements and I also sent them pictures with a tape measure of the tank and some how when I received my lid it still does not sit flush. Very disappointed. I paid about 285 I believe for it. But again the lid does not sit flush with the tank and when I contacted them they honestly were no help at all to help fixing the lid.

That sucks. If you decide to spend the $ and get another one go with Kraken
 
No warpage? Weighing between glass and acrylic but I know acrylic warps over time.

Mine are as straight as the day I got them, no warping or anything. There more screen than acrylic.
 
They are actually made from polycarbonate which does not have the same warping issue as acrylic. Completely different kind of plastic.
As this member has stated, our lids are made out of polycarbonate. Acrylic will absorb water when used for this purpose causing it to warp(curve), whereas polycarbonate is more resistive (not 100%, but allot better).

How do I get a quote for a lid from you?
