Lid options for Rimless tank

[aquacat15]

Hi friends!

I have a rimless reef tank and was looking for some advice on what I can do for a lid.

I’m considering plexiglass and clamps, but am worried about light filtration for my coral. I’m thinking of trying to make something custom with some fish net mesh. I’ve been brainstorming ideas but am curious if anyone here has bought or did DIY for a rimless tank themselves.

I’ve had a few jumpers and I’m trying to combat any others from going Nemo on me lol.

Diy using home depot screen frames kit and brs 1/4 " clear netting.
I put some stickies on the bottom to locate it on the tank.

I printed mine with Bambu lab 3d printer. Modified it some but just put mesh screen. Works great. Did it in two sections.

I had a glass shop cut me a piece of tempered glass to cover the display. I leave it open above my rear chamber of the all in one.

I’m using the dd jump guard and I like it. Not much effect on the light and it sits nice and flush

Polycarbonate clear light goes thru plus on amazon u can get clamps that fit the edge of the tank

I highly recommend Toplids. They were great to work with!
