Perfecto Manufacturing APF33160 Glass Canopy Aquarium, 16-Inch

I ordered this for my 5.5 gallon tank and it is just barely to small to use. It actually falls in the tank when placed on top. If it were just a hair wider it would be fine. It's still perfectly serviceable as long as I offset the panes by having one placed more left and the other more right. I wont bother returning it but I'll get a different lid from another manufacturer next time. I've used Perfecto lids for years and they've always been perfect. This one was a surprise. It was for a standard All-Glass brand aquarium so that may have something to do with it.

I'm still giving it three stars for being exactly what it clams to be, 15 5/16" wide. I took off one star for using black plastic to connect the two panes of glass (instead if the clear plastic it has for the back piece) and another for being 1/16" to short in width to properly cover a 5.5 gallon tank. If it turns out to be troublesome (or perfectly fine) in the long run I may change my rating.

Needed to replace the hood that came with the Petsmart/TopFin 5.5 gal kit I'm using as a nano planted tank. Initially purchased the All Glass Aquarium AAG29016 Versa Top, 16-Inch which was about 1/8" too wide. This one fits fine, glass edges of the rear section were slightly chipped but are covered and not visible with the vinyl trim installed.
