I was getting tired of lifting the screen on the tank to feed the fish everyday. Just about 20 min later I had this designed, and by that afternoon I was installing it.

Overall 3.5 inches, 5mm thick, 2.5 inch opening port for feeding.
Used PLA+ for construction since it does not sit in water.
Going to be making a second one for the other side of the tank.

Simple installation: Screw top and bottom together with the 3D printed screws, and then cut the screen out.

Are you willing to make one for me?
 
I just did the same thing. Saw the NEAT aquatics one and spent some time in Fusion360 and printed my own. Looks great.
