I have been miserable that my tiles didn't fit my tank 100% accurate.
I even busted a tank trying to squeeze the tiles in and make them fit. (that was fun).
I used sand to help bump them up over the tank silicone and that still didn't help really, It did somewhat.. But since the tiles weren't all that great in the tank crickets could get up underneath them. I hated that. I was always worried about Bo *Somehow* getting SOME of the sand from under the tiles.
So Petco in my area has a few tanks on sell right now that = 1.00 per gallon (20 long was one of those!). So I went and bought another tank (Now I'm ready if I find a white leo somewhere!). I took that tank to Lowes and started shoving tile in it trying to find something with the "Just right fit". The guy came up and offered to help me and I explained what I was doing and said "It would be so much easier if you guys could cut these things for me!!" he said "We can! .25 per cut" I was so thrilled I thought I was gonna kiss him right there!!! Because in the past Home Depot had told me that they dont cut tile anymore so I assumed Lowes had followed suit.
I was so thrilled and happy! I am so grateful Lowes still does those cuts! I would have easy paid 1.00 a cut! Now Bo's tank is right where I want it! I am so happy!
So buy your tile at lowes!
