I might have to do the same. I really don’t want to because the tank looks so good without a top/lidYep I’ve had it happen but I netted the top of my tank and solved the problem
Yup!!Happens even with fish that "don't jump".
Yup it suck. The might have to get a top for my tank but don’t want too because tanks looks good without it.Sorry to hear about this. I had a captive bred mandarin jump through my mesh one time. I found him on top of the mesh cooked by my lights. Sucks
Krakenreef and clean view lids make some really nice lids.Yup it suck. The might have to get a top for my tank but don’t want too because tanks looks good without it.
Ok I will look into that. ThanksKrakenreef and clean view lids make some really nice lids.
The best way to prevent this is a tank cover - I happen to like this brand: https://www.clearviewlids.com/
PS - with the clear view lids - you really don't notice them at all - depending on the type of tank you have (i.e. rimless or rimmed) - I had a rimless tank - and barely noticed it. Also - they will do cut outs for cords, etc - so that you con't have to worry about that.I might have to do the same. I really don’t want to because the tank looks so good without a top/lid
I have a Red Sea 359 g2. Will look into that.

They have pre-cut tops for all of the RedSea series (at least as of when I ordered mine)I have a Red Sea 359 g2. Will look into that. It would be nice to have cut outs for cords
I would never run a tank uncovered. Personally I prefer enclosed hoods and canopies, I'm not a fan of the current trend of rimless tanks and hanging lights. I have a red sea 130dd I stuffed a Steve's LED upgrade into the existing hood, and my wife has a 32 biocube I'm going to add an led strip to supplement the stock lights with.Yup it suck.

Velcro?? Do you mind explaining your recommendation? I have a screen made from materials at Home Depot and looking at making another one (hopefully a bit better than my first attempt) and could use any suggestions for improvement.Home Depot screen kit + some velcro = no jumpers
