What are the options for a mesh cover or something that appears hidden, yet keeps the fish from carpet diving on a Red Sea Reefer 450?
 
If I was going to get one, there's only one that would satisfy my need for the baller things in life....

On the Reefer, I would simply leave the black overflow cover off and this would go right over the overflow. That way this fancy new mesh lid doesn't need to be notched to go around the overflow box. I would also remove the white Red Sea product sticker from inside of the overflow so it doesn't stand out like a sore thumb.

I made one with aluminum screen rails from homedepot, brs mesh and small acrylic tabs to hold it in place.

Doesn't look too bad when in place
