Jumping Fish?

spbk84 · 10/13/2011, 12:18 PM

Hello,

I have a 92 corner bow with a Cracked glass top. I was thinking of making one of those DYI screen tops but not sure if this is possible because of the curve.

I was going to order the Materials from BRS but not sure what to do with the curve. I have tried the search function but I haven't seen anyone with a bowfront with this type of lid.

any suggestions?

thanks

You could either build the screen frame out of wood or frag rack (lighting cover) and cut it to the bow or curve you need. Hope this helps

+1 for eggcrate. It's great stuff for keeping fish in the tank and easy to cut to whatever size/shape is needed.

Eggcrates work great. Sometimes they will jump if stressed , like low O2 in the water. Just for kicks whats used for water flow in there?
