Diamond goby jumped. Need a screen top

[Nano Gabe]

So I have a jbj 28g nano cube and they have a curved glass front. My goby jumped last night so I need a lid before any other fish jump. Any ideas on how I can make a screen lid for this tank?

Maybe @cromag27 can help out, or get one made for you.

Yeah I know about that but the issue is the curved glass front of my tank. Any ideas on how to do that part?

I have a custom lid from TopLids. It was a bit pricey, but it's really well-made and fits my tank perfectly. I think there are a few companies making similar lids. They are much nicer than the DIY versions in my opinion.

Yeah I know I’ve seen them how much did it cost because the ones I’ve been seeing have been $70+ and I really don’t feel like spending that much

Sorry I missed the curve part. I’ve seen people cut acrylic but I have no experience doing that.

No worries

If anyone has some easy ideas please let me know

Yeah, mine was more than that. A bit over $100.

I went to Home Depot and bought some clear acrylic I plan on cutting it to the shape of the tank and then cutting out the middle and putting in clear screening. Only problem is I’m not sure how to secure the screening I was just thinking about glueing it

This! Matt does great work and worth every penny. Think of it this way, it's a life saver.

Ended up making my own thanks though cost me about $12. Might not look as nice but as long as it works for now. Cut an acrylic sheet to shape then cut out the center and covered with clear netting.
