    Looking for guides on replacing a mesh tank lid with plexi glass w/ hinge

    Can anyone provide me with a good guide on how to replace a mesh tank lid with plexi glass on a hinge that can be locked.

    I am currently converting a 75 gallon aquarium for my Dumerils boa. I should be finished later tonight or tomorrow and will post photos. I can tell you this, it will be easier if the top of the tank has a lip for the lock to engage. If you have never worked with plexiglass, take it slow. It took me three attempts to get it right, due to improper cutting and drilling techniques.

    Post all the photos you got, I'd love ideas.
