Can you help me build a screen lid?

[Miami Reef]

My tank is 260 gallons. Eurobraced.

My issue is the powerhead cords. I have 4 powerheads in my tank: 2 each side.


This is my tank

The two eurobrace that go vertically in the center of the tank sit lower than the perimeter of the tank.

The powerhead cords prop up the screen, which allows fish to escape through the back.

Does anyone have an idea for my powerhead cords?

I have 1/8” clear netting.


I’m really bad at this kind of stuff, so help is much appreciated.

you can use this cut out piece https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/diy-aquarium-screen-top-cut-outs-red-sea.html

or you may cut the net just enough to get the cords out of it and tied it later with a zip tie. If that would help

When I made mine I made it 1in shorter then the opening. I then put 2 strips of clear acrylic on it and drilled into that.
