We recently acquired some aquatic pets. I have been learning about consumer-grade aquariums. Apparently, a popular way to cover the top of an aquarium, to prevent things from falling in, is to use "egg crate" lighting panels. The plastic panels are lightweight and rigid enough to support their own weight. They are easy to customize by using pliers or diagonal cutters to break off sections. The problem I ran into is that the dimensions of the tank we purchased do not line up exactly with a whole number of the sections of the "egg crate" panel.
I designed these shims to fit snugly around the edge of the "egg crate" panel and to provide about half a square of padding by adding a quarter of a square on both sides of the panel.
Printing
