I haven't tried to make a sliding glass top, but here is some track that might help to do it: http://www.rockler.com/search_result...19&submit.y=11
I can see making a frame of this track with two pieces of glass trapped in the tracks, then laying it where the usual hinged top goes.
Thanks for the link, didn't know they made those....DC

Here's the slot at the bottom where the plexi slides in through a track on either side .
here's the hood with the top up. The lower slab is what's mounted into the wall; the little door supports the top when I need two hands in the tank or to work for a while. Sorry it's not rotated - I'm still getting the hang of posting pix.
That is nice. I have large canopies and need to figure out how to put sliding glass on top of the tank.....DC

I figured it out and it is completed and installed on the tank. Cost less than $10 including glass to make. It is posted with the rest of my DIY projects, here is the link: http://www.fellowshipofthefish.com/f...forum.php?f=13
