I purchased a 5 gallon fish tank that has a flat top. Will this top fit on top of that?

Most likely not. The 5 gals tend to be smaller. But I'd check the dimension of yours first. This one fits a standard 10 gal.

The measurements for this lid are included in the description. Measure your tank and compare that to the measurements given for this item. If they are the same, it will fit.

Not likely. This top was designed for tanks with a top dimension of 20.25"x10.5" which includes standard 10gallon and 15gallon high tanks. I have a standard 5.5gallon tank with the inset "lip" around the top (flat on top tho) and the top dimensions are 16"x8"... So it may sit on the top but not necessarily be secure and would not "fit". I will attempt to fit this on my 5g next chance I get and report back. I for one chose the all glass flat top for my 5gallon.

Some of these answers are wrong. This DOES NOT fit 20 inch, ten gallon aquariums. It is a 16 inch hood.

Obvious answer, but I wanted to know if this top would fit over the flat top that came with the tank. If I'd have had more space, I would have added that my cats are drinking the water out of the aquarium because the flat top has a rather large opening where the water filter goes, I would like to put a cover over that so the cats couldn't get at the water.

Yes it fits right on top, doesn't attach anywhere but it is the perfect length for a 10 gallon aquarium with a glass tank cover.

I am honestly not sure. I had purchased it for our hex fish tank but it was too small and I had to return it. We were informed anything larger would need a custom made class top. We have since been gifted a larger rectangular fish tank. Sorry!!!

The top is meant for that style of aquarium. As long as you have 2 braces it should work.

Don't know exactly but my 55 gal. Tank fits perfectly on it. The bottom of the tank is flush with the sides of the stand. If that makes sense

I am not sure - it would depend on the dimensions of the 5 gallon. My guess would be NO

I would advise not laying this on its side..if you have a stand it will fit underneath your tank..you can also sit it beside your tank..it not that big to take up that much space...but if you really are pushed for space then maybt you should invest in a HOB filter then...

It fits a 5.5 gal aquarium 16" long. Once you add the plastic strip to the back side it covers a 5 gal tank nicely

No it won't, it is way too long to fit in small tanks. I had to return mine because it didn't fit in my five gallon tank.

It won't if the top is figured like the bellow comment says. But they may make a model that fits it. I'd check their site.

My tank is 12x24" & the top fits perfectly. I guess it depends on your filter. There are cord cutouts at each corner.

I have a 55 gallon tank and 2 works perfect. Comes with the whole top. Popped the old one out and new ones fit right in

It will fit, but mind these estimated measurements: There's a 2 1/5" x 22 13/16" plastic piece that goes on the back. The glass part measures 22 13/16" long. The edges of the glass piece from back to front measures ~7 7/8". The center of the glass measures ~11 1/2". It's a pretty pronounced bow. After giving the measurements of my tank to the mfg, they stated that this would fit my 27 gallon tank. The bow on my tank is not as pronounced. It would fit better on my tank if the edges of the glass from back to front were about 9 1/4" with all the other measurements OK. With this said, there's a gap on each side.

it will fit a 35 gallon hexagonal tank. it is 17 inches across in each direction.

If you have the standard rectangular tank it should fit. But if it's more of a square there's no chance

Hi, I am pretty sure that it will fit all of the way across the 2.5 gal tank, but you should probably buy the glass top made for this tank, as it will keep the moisture out of the light fixture. This light fixture doesn't come with any plastic or glass under the light.Jerry of petworldstore

it will fit but it's going to be tight. once the tank is on the stand you can't get anything in because of that middle brace.
