I have a tunze 3155 ato in the DT plus its a JBJ 28 nano cube with a slight bowed front. This was my solution to ensure a secure top so that my future clowns dont take the leap of death .....
A lil acrylic work on the front to take care of the bow and a lil acrylic work on the rear side of the top to work around the ATO .....
just an idea if any other newbies have this tank ;)
I think it looks ok enough

Looks fine. You will need to handle the gaps but if you are handy with acrylic and have a big saw and weldon. I would recommend tracing the top you want on acrylic and use a jigsaw to get the size you want. It will be a little rough but will fit exactly. Make 2 of them and sandwich the netting between with weldon
 
I think he already has the acrylic in the gaps. Top looks good to me.
 
Yep, acrylic is already there. Its completely covered.

Look closely :)
