Looking for ideas since most of the DIY mesh tops I've seen are geared more towards glass tanks with rims. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Here is a link to mesh from BRS that is commonly used. With a DIY solution, the next question you will need to decide is what do you want to use as a frame. BRS does have DIY frames for rimless tanks but it has gotten mixed reviews. Another option would be to make the frame out of acrylic. Good luck!

I have an Octo top... rimless glass tank, so it's different, but quality, fit, finish, and looks are all top of the line.

On that tank and to look neat I would speak with someone that deals with acrylic in your area and ask them to make a bespoke cover for it.

Rout your existent openings and den get new rims cut out were you can apply the mesh.
