    Default strange lid size......

    So my tank is 23 5/8th wide by 14 3/4 deep
    It was bought as a 29 gallon and has a "lightglo" lid

    The light shields have fallen off and now one of the lamps is flickering. The lights have been replaced 1x in 3 yrs
    How hard will it be to replace lid? Is it necessary?
    I have some low light plants along with plastic as its NomNomz tank (my dragon puffer)

    Thanks
    I am so not electrically savy

    I don't know about that specific lid, but Charles can make you a custom glass lid inexpensively. Then you can just sit a light on top, like the light from your current tank (if it's removable) or a Coralife or Hagen Glo, etc. There are usually some up for sale in the Classifieds. Good luck!

    You can also call the pet stores, see what they have. For all I know, that might be a stock size.
