Lack of 60 cube canopies?

[budddman]

Is there any reason that it seems like no one makes 60 gallon cube canopies? Any structural or engineering reasons why? I do have a rimless. After some searching glasscages.com makes one for 118, but i feel like i could make one for less. Juat was curious to know why it seems that there arent very many options for canopies on that size tank.

I think the way a lot of them are setup is that light basically hangs over the tank, either on a goose neck or a bar that is attached to the stand from the back. I think that's just the look of how the tank is, as opposed to a full canopy on top.

I understand that for rimless tanks like my own but fro rimmed tanks which arent as pretty on top im surprised there arent more options available

I think the cube with the black border at the top looks better. You can rest your net cover on the inner lip and it looks cleaner. Most people have their netting on top of their rimless tanks which defeats the whole rimless look...

Yes that is true, and the net doesn't always stay on tight, I actually have to Velcro the ends to keep it on tight. I also don't like how you can see the unfilled space, water line, towards the top of the tank, which the black border would normally be covered up, and a canopy would do the same too.
