Clear mesh top

[Dace]

Did anyone here use or built a Clear mesh netting top for a rimless tank. If so,can you post picture, directions or any links for a diy cover to keep wrasse fish from jumping. I would think that it would probably look ugly on a rimless tank. Please prove me wrong.

Look at my tank thread the 80 gallon rimless one
Chrome screen frame from depot, clear mesh from bulk reef supply, still trying to figure out how to make it secure. I think it looks awesome

I have one made and put clear bumpers on the corners to keep it slightly elevated from the rimless . I'll post a pic later tonight.

I am currently working on a nice rimless tank cover. Just need to find the right supplies. I have been striking out

This rocks, The only thing for me is that i think in Home depot you can get different color Framing Like White,Black,Brown,Silver. I would use brown on my setup and i think Bulk Reef Supply only uses black.

I dont think Home Depot sells the clear mesh. You may want to buy the clear mesh elsewhere.

Ok dace here it is, I'm posting a few pics so hopefully you can see what I did. Btw the clear mesh is not in yet, only the frame is done.

Here it is on the tank

Hope that helps you have an idea of what I mean. It's slightly elevated but still keeps the rimless look

I have built mine yet and I don't have a rimless .. i have seen people place a small piece of velcro at every corner to keep it secure on to the tank.

Good Luck

I could order the mesh from Bulk Reef Supply

Looks Great.

Well. I just ordered the netting from BRS because their framing is dark grey. I went to Home Depot and bought the bronze framing and all the other supplies.
