Long glass top or two?

Well, I guess I am going to try buying the Perfecto glass canopy for 18x72 tanks. It comes in two 18x36 sections basically. But I am a little confused about why the tank has that little inner lip/edge that is smaller than 18x36. That inner dimension would be like 17x35. I thought that was where the glass cover was supposed to sit. This cover would just go on the very top since it's too big to sit down on that inner edge. Maybe the inner edge is only if I am getting one of those black plastic hoods. I don't know what brand my tank is, I don't see any markings. But Perfectos do have the cross brace. The outer dimensions of the tank are actually slightly more than 72x18, by 1/2 an inch or so. Anyway I plan to sit my 72" long light on top of the glass cover too.
the glass tops are typically cut shorter(smaller) that the exact dimensions.as far as width they typically have plastic edging that fits on one side.
for example my 55 and 110X use the same 12"? X 24" glass top
the tanks are both 48" long with center bracing
so they use the 24" glass top(not really 24")
as a result you would have to use the 2 glass tops opposed to a single long one would not fit due to the center brace
