Default Canopy Hinge?

Hi,

I had some glass cut to go over my new aquarium. I am in the process of
completing a DIY canopy. What I am wondering is, where can on buy one of
those flexible hinges you see on tanks. The one when the each side of the
glass slips into the strip. So, it acts as a hinge for the system?


All Glass uses them and sells them. when mine wore out a few months back, I
removed the shreds and noticed my tank was getting 10% more light. The hinge
was unfortunately directly in the path of one row of bulbs. So I never
replaced them. Evaporation is up a bit, and the hinged lid now just rests in
place, but I prefer the higher light level.
