Versa Glass Top 36 Gallon Bow Front (29.2" Wide)

Although it took over 1 year to complete this (manufacturing delays etc.) After arrival it is a perfect fit looks great and great quality.
A special shoutout to Pets Warehouse sales for not giving up and finding a new source of this item!!

Very nice product. It fit both the aqueon and our top fin tanks.
Pricey especially with shopping included but we are pleased with them

About a decade ago on Easter Sunday my old aquarium decided to develop a fatal leak. Fearing the death of the fish and a ruined Easter dinner, I went to the only pet store around that was open (a chain store) and purchased a 36 gallon bow front combo package (I believe all Top Fin products). While the tank and stand were pretty good, the plastic top and light were clearly bargain brand quality. I replaced the light pretty quickly. After a few years one of the lid’s hinge tabs broke, followed soon thereafter by the other. (To be fair, Top Fin has a different–hopefully better–lid design now but they are not sold separately)

The search for a full glass lid was pretty fruitless. I was told they just didn’t make them any more and it was pandemic time. I ordered a piece of clear acrylic and band sawed the bow shape. The second try was acceptable and I used it while the search continued. But acrylic warps and every three or four days I had to flip it–so I could not use a hinge or handle. A suction cup had to do.\ for the handle. Not a great substitute.

Finally found this on the Pets Warehouse site but it was back ordered. I believe the original order was spring of 2022 and in late 2022 they responded to my email to say it was still on order but hoped it would be in early in 2023. In September, one day into our first ever trip abroad, the email comes in that the lids were in. Since my order was so old I had to re-order it; and is was going to be first come, first served. I ordered it and fortunately a neighbor was able to take delivery before the porch pirates.

It is pricey and the shipping is pricey. Nearly $90 total. But fortunately the quality matches. While shipping was expensive, Pets Warehouse packed this thing really well and clearly marked it as glass. Pleasant surprise number two is that it fits perfectly. Reviews had warned it wasn’t a perfect fit for their aquariums. I was prepared to have to do some grinding of the glass or the aquarium frame, but happily did not have to.. The glass is about 3/8" thick and is significantly heavier than the 1/4" glass on my 60 gallon aquarium. The hinge is also quite heavy and should be durable.

So if you are hesitating about the price, I would still recommend it. It will likely outlive me . . ..

fit is really good

I've been waiting forever for this lid to be available and luckily pets warehouse had it :-) Fantastic lid and even better service!

Shipping takes a littlebit not much and arrive super well packed, awesome my fishtank looks so much better and fancy i would recommend to my friends and family. Great store so happy with my purchase

Well made

Long time waiting for this, but so happy it came. Great purchase. Fits my tank perfectly. Would highly recommend petswarehouse to all. Very pleased. Thank You so much.

A hood for my 36" Bow Front is getting harder and harder to find, as we keep breaking the plastic one. Well, found this glass one and couldn't be happier. Nice update and we hope it is not easy to break as the plastic one!
