The footprint from the 65 to the 40 is different.Hi I have a marineland 65 gal tank. It’s top dimensions are 36”x18”.
So it’s same size tank as the marineland 40g breeder(but deeper) except it has a center brace. Similar to the 90g that has a brace but that one is 48”x18 long.
Wasn’t sure if I need to order a complete custom designed lid? Can you modify a 40 or 90 lid to fit my tank if I’m going with a tsunami style? Or is that as much work as building the 65 lid from scratch? I was thinking the 90 lid just has to be 6” shorter on each section. Thought I could save a few bucks
Also I have he corner overflow, I assume that doesn’t affect measurements at all? Looks like it is below the frame so it wouldn’t affect a lid? I currently have a lid that I made from hardware door screen kit and overflow doesn’t touch it.
Thank you
All of our measurements need to be internal, as our lids rest inside the rim of your tank.
We do have a Custom Lids product page for any tank not listed on our site (excluding bow front tanks). Pricing on the Custom Lids page is set up to be on par with other lids for which we already have programming files, so the price difference is usually within $2 either direction.
Modifying an existing lid program would be the same amount of work and potentially less accurate than a custom build, but again, the pricing is comparable to other lids of the same sizing.
On the product page, below the description is a lid square footage calculator, this will allow you to find the sizing, on the same page you can select your lid style, correct size and add all needed customizations.
**overflow must be at least 1/4" below the rim of the tank or it will require a large cut out.
