I recently replaced the clear mesh on my Red Sea DIY frame with black mesh. I like it a lot more without all the glare from the light going through the translucent mesh, but the frame is now tweaked from the mesh being so tight, and I'd really just like a nicer looking lid.
I'm aware of several custom lid makers (Kraken, ClearView, Octo, Top Lids) but none appear to offer options with black mesh or a black polycarbonate frame. I haven't yet reached out to all of them to see if these are available. Hoping to find someone who already makes a black lid. I'm not concerned about light penetration. I only run my light at a max of 45% as it is with clear mesh so I have plenty of headroom.
