I've tried several times to DIY on making a mesh top for my nano cubes to stop suicides. I just can't seem to get it right. Does anyone know of someone who builds custom size mesh tops?

Need to take into consideration the HOB filter. Size would be about 12" x 11". I need 2 exactly the same.

Thanks for any info!!
 
Hi you can get really good mesh kit on ebay . I have a glass top myself but a friend has mesh top on his tropical tank
 
Artfully Acrylics makes awesome screen tops. They fit like a glove! When you think about how much we spend on fish, the cost is worth it. I have a tank that is 80% wrasses and haven't lost one since installing one of their tops. The DIY's just aren't good enough, fish will eventually find that 1/4" gap and go carpet surfing.;)
 
Thanks! I was the first one to start making these lids, then others copied me.

I'm a big fan of how you allow for replacement of the mesh netting.

How much approximately for a standard 75G (48 x 18, center brace) black trimmed tank?
