Aqueon Glass Aquarium AAG29020 Versa Top, 20-Inch For Fish

I have a 5 gallon Fluval Chi aquarium that has no top lid, which I despise because of water loss, dust falling in, and fish suicides. Fluval sells their own proprietary lid, but the cost is ridiculous and I don't like the huge cut out square in the middle, nor do I like the boxy brown combo filter/light with the awkward light switch. The cost to get custom glass cut and buying a handle, hinge, and clear backstrip separately is a bit spendy. Therefore, I just bought this combo glass cover and took it to the local glass shop and had them cut it to fit my aquarium. The guy only charged me $5 labor, because I wanted the edges polished so nobody would get cut handling the glass lid. The brown plastic hinge does not slide off the glass, so they have to cut the plastic first before they run their machine to cut the glass. The glass is not tempered and didn't shatter into a million pieces when the guy cut it. Be careful with cutting glass on other brands, until you can verify the glass is not tempered or your gonna waste money when it shatters. Don't forget to cut 4mm of plastic off the bottom side edge hinges, so your glass will lay flat on the aquarium and not be elevated by the brown hinge. The glass fits perfectly on top of the aquarium with a 5mm gap at the back after the clear strip is installed. I went to the hardware store and bought clear plastic L brackets and used Loctite to glue them on the corners of the glass, so the lid doesn't shift around and fall off. I used a angle grinder with metal cutting wheel to cut the back plastic piece to size (that's some tough hard plastic folks) and slid on the back clear piece and custom cut holes to house the Eheim Jager 50 Watt heater, Clamp on LED light, and Azoo Mignon 150 water filter. Now the aquarium looks really nice and streamlined, without that crazy huge brown box hanging in the middle. That filter wasn't very efficient anyways and I like the Azoo filter way better plus my 3 phase LED light is really awesome with the different light patterns. I'm not too fond of the brown handle for this kit, so I'll probably just do without it.

These fit my 55 gallon freshwater perfectly. I had to get two of them, and the size is a bit strange. They list them here as 20", but that just means they FIT a certain size. They come in at slightly less. Either way, they worked perfectly and continue to let light blast into the tank. I have these on my tank with a Finnex Stingray above. I wanted as little in the way of the light as possible, and I got just that. I will say this, as you clean these, you may forget they are glass. Watch what you place them on as you clean them. I pressed a little too hard and a shard of glass came off the corner of one of them as I was cleaning them in the sink. Nothing major, just a tiny sliver of glass that did nothing to the appearance or the function, but still, be careful. Another issue, be careful how you put on the handle. You might be temped to put it on the wrong side. Remember, you want the piece of glass closes to you to lift up, so the plastic joint between the panes of glass must be flat. The joint will be on the bottom, so that you can lift the front pane up.

I was a little nervous ordering online after reading so many reviews that stated you had to know which brand of tank you had. I bought my fish tank over 20 years ago and I do not remember the brand. But I measured it and went with this lid. It fits great! No more crusty deposits on my old plastic tank cover that won’t come clean. Now my aquarium has a sleek, modern look. The handle was easy to attach and works great. There is less evaporation. Highly recommend.

Not perfect, but very awesome. This top is equal size on front and back parts of the glass. This is perfect for me since I run two sets of lights on each. I did not have any issues fitting this on a 55 gallong Aqueon aquarium, but other manufacturers may have slightly different dimension. Have enjoyed these covers. Clean up is easy. I would say they look nice, but you can't see them. They do allow for more light into the aquarium - best of both worlds - I run one bulb for plant growth which is in a spectrum that doesn't show off fish well and another bulb designed to show off fish, but doesn't grow plants well. When I do decide to pull the trigger on a nice LED, I will already have my tops ready to go. At that point I am sure they will add to the aesthetic of the tank. The back part where you cut out to place filters, etc fits really weird and is kind of hard to attach.

This fits my 10 gallon glass tank, except my filter is a bit deeper, which causes it to not fit in the front track of the tank. Doesn’t really cause any issues but be aware. I have an Aqueon smart clean filter. The glass is clear and thick. I bought this to replace the original top because I wanted the opening in the back to hang a plant. You will need to add a light as my original top has one built in. I didn’t use the plastic backing because again I want the opening and didn’t feel like cutting the plastic around everything.

I really like how simple this lid is, and it works well. In case you can't tell from the picture, it consists of 2 panes of glass connected by a black, plastic hinge. The clear* plastic piece slides onto the back edge, and the black handle comes separately and you must peal off the sticker-backing and stick the handle on where you want it. The adhesive is very strong, so stick it carefully! I did it carelessly and couldn't get it off to try again. Oh well, my bad. The clear plastic strip on the back is slightly shorter than the glass pane, so if you slide it over to one end, you have a convenient small gap on the other end, just large enough to fit the air hose and heater cord without even needing to cut holes in the plastic. [*when I say "clear" I don't mean as clear as glass; it's not window-quality clear; maybe more of a "translucent"] One disadvantage of this lid: Once the algae & gunk start growing on the inside of the lid (pretty much inevitable), it does get in between the glass pane and the clear plastic component. The clear plastic can be taken off fairly easily to scrub it out - I recommend using a toothbrush with long bristles. I like it enough that I am buying another one for my 2nd aquarium.

I had trouble finding a glass tank lid for my 20 gallon so this one ended up being the only one I could find, but it is exactly what I needed and works perfectly. I have a similar lid for my 10 gallon but it came with the glass pieces and hinge separate so I had to connect them. The hinge was very stiff and it wasn’t easy getting it together. It never really stretched out enough for it to stay open when you open it. This lid is already put together and the hinge is perfect. It stays open when you open it and it is 100% sealed unlike the other. The glass on the edges is not sharp or jagged which is a huge plus since my other lid scratches the edges of the top of my tank every time I slide it off. I didn’t even add the extra piece for the back because this lid leaves just enough room for my back hanging filter, heater, and sponge filter tubing while still blocking any splashing from getting into my LED lighting. Love this lid and love the price!

Though I measured several times, this top fit length wise, but was actually too small depth (width) wise. However, I was able to use the plastic extender from my old top which made it fit. It seems like the plastic extender that comes with it needs to be wider. Also, there's no instructions - so not sure which side is up for the plastic extender - and it's hard to cut because of the extra grooves in it . The glass is hinged, and will only fully open one way. The top really helped with evaporation and the build up that was accumulating around the edges. It would be nice if the hinged part would stay open on it's own, but it will fully open, or I can rest it on the light. So it works for me. On a side note, when the top arrived, the handle was broken. I contacted amazon to see if just the handle could be sent. It couldn't. They offered me a 40% discount if I wanted to keep the top anyway or the whole thing would need to be replaced. I super glued the handle and it works fine. Seems like the handle gets broke in shipping a lot.

It fits my 20g tank well, and I imagine it would fit perfectly if my heater wasn’t so bulky. However, it works great for my needs. It did take a really long time to arrive though.

The product arrived with one stick on lid handle broken. The lid was about 1/16 of an inch too long so it doesn't fit the way it should.

I highly recommend this product and seller. It arrived on time and as desribed. I love it.

Works perfectly fits great, very happy with the product. My fish are finally safe from my cat ;)

Works good just had to modify,( cut it and be creative) for my tank.
