I need a clear lid of some sort for my 44 gallon pentagon tank but I dont really like the ones they sell online. the door is too large on them. Have any of you guys/gals ever made a lid for a tank out of plexi glass? Is there any specific kind that wont warp? Any feedback will be very much apreciated.

Don't use plexiglass, it'll warp. I use polycarbonate (Lexan), it's expensive but very easy to work with. You can drill, cut, and vent it very easy. I use 3/8" which might be a bit of an overkill, but for the last 6 years I have used it on my 90g, it has not warped at all.

Oh that polycarbonate sounds like it will do the trick. thank you. where do you buy it?

I have a plastic fabrication shop close to me, I haven't seen it that thick in stores.
