Default Need pieces of glass

hey guys the top of my aquarium is open, i need like two pieces of glass to cover it so i can put me lights on top
the problem is i will need two pieces since i have a centre brace
i can give out measurements if needed
i live in burnaby so local is best

glass shops are probably the best place to get it. But, I'd find a different way to mount lights and not cover the tank.

Build a wooden frame, hang them from there. Buy the mounting rails with legs. There are custom metal brackets available.
Sitting them on glass will be too close, the glass will get dirty in a couple days, and lock in heat.

I had Delta Glass make me an acrylic lid. Maybe try them, they are bit out of the way if you're in burnaby.
