By the way I suppose you already know that you need a much larger tank by now?
I am looking to get a 75 or 90 gallon after the new year.

Bolts can be shortened with a hacksaw, but rustproof coated bolts will no longer be rustproof... I hacksawed some bolts for my lid, and put a coat of tremclad on it to make it rust proof again.

I was thinking of stainless steel bolts, but if they can be coated or capped... thats a good option too.

I cut the bolts flush. Since they're solid zinc, they won't rust. Thanks for the reminder.
