Product Overview
If you love the look of a rimless tank but hate topping off water every two days (or worrying about your prize Betta taking a "leap of faith"), these UNS Rimless Glass Lids are exactly what you need. Custom-engineered for original UNS rimless glass tanks, these lids maintain high-definition visibility without interfering with lighting or aquascape aesthetics. Sized to leave precise clearance gaps, each lid allows for proper surface gas exchange while providing room for filter pipes, heater cables, and equipment access.
Important Compatibility Note: These lids are designed exclusively for standard UNS rimless and single-chamber AIO aquariums. They are NOT compatible with the UNS Dual AIO series. Click here for UNS Dual AIO Glass Lids.
Key Features & Benefits
- Two Mounting Options: Choose between standard Lid + Clip models with clear rim-mounted clips or seamless Flush Fit models using anti-slip strips for an ultra-minimalist profile.
- Livestock Safety: Prevents jumping fish (such as Bettas, killifish, and hatchetfish) and escaping invertebrates from leaving the aquarium.
- Water Parameter Stability: Significantly reduces water evaporation, preventing rapid concentration of dissolved solids and keeping salinity levels stable in nano setups.
- High-Clarity Glass: Crafted from premium transparent glass that allows maximum light penetration for demanding planted tanks and coral reef systems.
- Equipment Clearance Gaps: Sized to leave crucial gaps along the edges for airline tubing, canister filter lily pipes, heater cords, and essential oxygen exchange.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I know whether to order a Clip lid or a Flush Fit lid?
Lid + Clip models rest on top of the glass rim using clear plastic clips. Flush Fit lids sit slightly inside the top rim using discrete anti-slip padding, providing a lower-profile appearance. Make sure to check the dimension table to confirm compatibility with your specific UNS tank model.
2. Will these lids fit non-UNS aquarium brands?
These lids are cut to precise dimensions specifically tailored to Ultum Nature Systems aquariums. While they may physically fit other rimless tanks with identical inner or outer dimensions, we recommend measuring your aquarium's internal and external rim accurately before purchasing.
3. Do these glass lids cover 100% of the top of the tank?
No. UNS lids are intentionally cut with clearance gaps around the perimeter. This provides essential space for surface gas exchange (oxygenation) and lets you route filter outflow/inflow pipes, heater cables, and automatic feeder cords without lifting the lid.

Q&A
- Are the edges of these glass lids sharp? I'm setting up an aquarium for a 6 year old and I want to make sure she doesn't get cut if not careful.
- Hi Gabriel, Thank you for your question. The UNS Rimless Tank Glass Lids are designed with smooth, polished edges to ensure safety when handling. Please reach out to us at support@buceplant.com with any more questions. Best regards, Team Buce Plant
- Can you tell me exactly what kind of glass this is? Is it tempered? What is its durability? We have cats as well who have a tendency to be curious and on the off chance one of them decides to take a nap on top of my cube aquariums cover we want to know what the odds are of it shattering
- Hi Remy, Thank you for your question! The glass is low iron and non-tempered. While it is designed to be sturdy and durable, it is important to handle it carefully and avoid placing heavy or potentially damaging objects on the lid to prevent any risk or breakage. We hope this helps! Best regards, Team Buce Plant
- Can this also prevent water from spilling over the edge?
- Hi Tony, Thank you for your question. The UNS Rimless Tank Glass Lids can definitely help prevent water from spilling over the edge of a tank. Using a lid can contain splashes caused by active fish and water movement from filters. Thank you, Team Buce Plant
- Hi please help me determine which lid will be the best fit with clip 47.24" x 19.69" x 19.69" - 79 Gallons
- Hi Patricia, Thank you for your question! We do not have a lid for this size tank. A lid would be very heavy for the tank, you might want to look into floaters as an alternative. Best regards, Team Buce Plant
- How much that 90L lid weigth ? And truly it seem easy to break ( drop on the aquarium) or is some handles ?
- Hello Chanel, thank you for your question. The UNS 90L lid weighs approximately 6 pounds. The lid is slightly smaller than the actual size of the tank, as the lid will be placed on top of lip clips. We hope this information helps! If there is anything else we can assist you with, please email us at support@buceplant.com. Thank you, Team Buce Plant
