Guess I should have been a little more clear on my question. I've bent acrylic and formed it before using heat. So that I'm okay with.. Just wondering what the flange has to do with it and how it looks in the end?

Just get concept to build you 2 lids out of glass with the plastic back for plumbing n the plastic joint for lifting a little part for feeding
It's probably cheeper then you think
The lid for my 90g is 2 lids and was $30

The simple solution to your bent acrylic is to take a small 1" piece of acrylic and mount it across the whole lid in a T to the original piece. This serves two functions...it keeps the original one straight and it gathers any humidity to the center and drips back into tank.
