    you will not be able to get tempered glass cut to size. you will have to go to a glass store and have them order it for you unless it is on a fixture check with that company.

    True, Glass is heat treated after cut to size, then it's tempered glass. That can't be cut..

    Tempered glass for the tank lid or for the fixture?
    If its for the lid, just use regular glass or better yet forgo entirely... If its for the fixture, that SHOULD be acrylic...
