I hope someone here can help me. Although I do not have an aquarium set up for fish, I do use them for terrariums and I set them up for tree frogs. I found a great deal on a 30 gallon (used) "bow" aquarium. It does not have any top on it. If I am going to use it to house frogs I need it to have a secure screen top. I have searched through some pet stores and I have only seen screen tops for rectangular type aquariums. Is this a lost cause...do they make screen tops for "bow" aquariums.

Have not seen them but perhaps you could get an oversized one and it will cover the opening, just weigh it down properly. As an aside, oftentimes you would cover part of the opening with plastic to keep the humidity high for the frogs, so maybe just consider fabricating one yourself.

You can get a sheet of plexiglass from home depot and cut it to size. Should work for your purpose and be relatively cheap.

Thanks for the ideas. I think I will try and cover half with plexiglass or plastic and try and construct some kind of screen for the other half...I want to keep air flow. I convinced hubby to come take a look at it...we are heading to the pet store when he gets home from work...I will "encourage" his building skills...it's as good as mine...lol...let's just hope it works out.

My wife always keeps plenty of band-aids on hand when I build stuff.

Check the online stores and or call the maker of the tank..... I find hard to find items all the time this way

We took a second look at it and hubby found several things wrong with it...cracked glass on one side...a break in part of the stand...he did not think it was even worth the $50.00. I had to agree. Thanks for all your help here. I am going to buy an exo-terra terrarium for my little froggies. I think it will be worth the extra few dollars in the long run.

Well that's a bummer it was a broken setup...
I had a terrarium once, I used the Oceanic Lizard Lounge, it was an awesome terrarium...
