Red Sea screen top covers

TX_Punisher · Dec 26, 2018

anyone have any experience
With them? I have the 750xxl and need a cover for my wrasses. The acrylic choices aren’t cheap by any means and will cut into my flame wrasse budget. :)

Are they worth it? I’ve heard the screen material leaves something to be desired and is hard to work with?

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I’ve got one for my S650 and I’m more than happy with it, once built up. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a replacement if I needed one

You have to make sure the mesh is tensioned correctly (reasonably taught) or I can imagine they could look a bit tatty

Here’s a picture of mine in place

I have a DIY Red Sea on my RSR 250 and it serves it purpose, but it definitely looks cheap and not ascetically pleasing to the eye. One of the reasons I went with a RS reefer was how great they looked. I just upgraded to a 750XXL and went with a custom lid. I figured what I spent for this tank and the look I need a custom lid.

Hope this helps.

I had a feeling someone would say something about the looks/price of tank. Crazy thing is I already want a 300g! :)

Thanks for the input
