    Any glass place can do it. I know of one about 5 minutes from my house.
    Fish are people too, they just have gills.

      Call Charles at Fish Ranch in Rosenberg. I'm pretty sure he has a guy who will do it as well.

                Can binswanger cut any shape? I was looking at the little JBJ Picotope tanks, but they don't have lids. Can they cut a lid with the bowed front?

                  Vicki I am sure they can but you will need to know the exact curvature of the cut.
                  You might take a piece of cardboard & cut it exactly like the tank is to show them.

                    I had a poor experience with my Binswanger. My order was so small they kept forgetting to do it. After two weeks I went in and the guy told me that the glass couldn't be cut the way I wanted it because it would be structurally weak. So I just cancelled the order.

                      My husband works for Austin Glass an Mirror...an yes, you can cut glass for a bowfront, its just very , very teadious. He has cut bowfront glass pieces for table covers, an made all my glass lids for my tanks. An is currently working on making a 100 divided tank for my guppies....glass man an a fish woman...what a great match...lol. If you can't find anyone else to help with the lid, shoot me some specs, I will talk to my hubby about it.

                        Thanks, I appreciate the offer to help! I haven't gotten the tank yet. I've decided to go ahead and use what I have now with the other tank in mind for future use. But when the time comes, I may take you up on your offer, especially after reading TheH's experience with Binswanger.
