I have always wanted one of these, but never spoken to anyone who has had one. Lots of second hand info on the web. I would also love to hear from someone who has some personal experience with them.

Check out Arizona Aquatic Plant Enthusiasts, aka AAPE. Similar to this forum, just local. Has a trading post for stuff like this. I'm sure you can find someone for your fish.

I cut my own tops for all my growout tanks. I would be more worried about thickness to be able to reuse the hinge from the original top. If you have any piece of the original glass, I'd measure that...

I have a 125 gallon with 40 rasboras and a 72 gallon with 30 neons. While I like the contrast of the coloration of the neons against a planted tank, the rasboras seem to be a much hardier fish (IME)....
