Don't know which canapy your referencing there cause none fit your tank deminsions. Have you thought about making your own? Its not very hard - I could post some detail pics I suppose it ya wanted to follow that route. I paid 35 bucks for the lumber for the canopy on my 100gl.
BTW - are you sure on the deminsions? those don't add to a 65 maybe 48x12x18 which is a 45gl??

You have post blocks inside the canopy that are about 1" above the bottom edge of the canopy. These rest on the top edge of the tank. So, it must sit fairly tight.

definately NO...dimensions have to match up right...you could maybe modify it in some way, but that may not work out iether...really best if you do some research on DIY canopy...you really save a bundle doing it yourself as far as a canopy goes...***** wanted around $300 for theirs...we made one for the 135 for about $70 including the paint
