Was thinking something like the lampshade you offer but a little thinner and rectangular. I might be purchasing another hydra26hd I might be willing to send you if you can't find something local
I heard @dantimdad had a file for the Hydras; he may be able to help you out.

May have to buy the rimmed sock holder! They are hard to find and are expensive/ bulky else where.
I've tested these for fit on a number of tanks and they're pretty solid. Some people have decided to go bigger and add little padded feet to really snug them up. If you order, I'll probably follow-up with you on tank size. I should really put a sizing chart up. So many little todos.

Smallest and will probably need to add a spacer pad.
If you're ordering one of the 4" ones; I can try to size it against my 29Gallon Chaeto tank and may make a new size. Let me know if you order and I'll follow up with you.

How about a lightweight shade for a 61” aquatic life fixture?
I would be tempted to break out the 1/2" foam sheet for that. You can use toothpicks and foam glue to piece it together and then paint it.

Hey! That bigger one you shipped me is perfect fyi. Small one can’t be angled in because of the way the rim is which I imagine is what you ran into. I appreciate it!!! Would buy from them again! So the .9 fits the 29 Aqueon and the 20 long!

Yes! that is what I came across too. I've been told the measurements varry from tank to tank so I figured I'd send it and see if you came to the same conclusion. Thanks for getting back to me regarding the fit!

Grab the 4" version of the Filter Sock Replacement System when I come out with it!

Oh that would be better than rinsing filter socks. I’m at least using mesh so I don’t actually have to wash them. I already have filter floss from main tank.

Thanks to an Ender Extender I can do one piece XR30 shades that look good. They flare out to just under 40cm (14.75") wide so the fixture actually looks like lamp instead of a box.

Looking to purchase 6 of these from you, can you PM me a cost for 6 and a timeline for you to produce them ?
I assume they are designed to fit XR30 G6 correct ?

Sam,

The twist nut RO tube holder is great but I have 45x45 profile with 10mm nut requirement. Can you accommodate?
