What did you use for the screen on top ???

I used the kit from Bulk Reef Supply. I made it to fit on the inside of the tank rim. I used Pieces of acrylic screwed to the corners to sit on top of the tank rim to suspend it. The acrylic also made it a stronger joint. I didn't trim the screen on the back, so it would hang over the gap I have my powerhead wires running through.

Great, thanks.

I've been wanting to do something similar with mine.

Changed from my BRS dosing pumps to the Neptune Systems DOS controlled by my Apex! I love these pumps. Super easy to set up and calibrate and adjust. I can change dosing amounts easily with my phone. They are pretty quiet for dosing 2 part solutions and never hear them run.

For some reasons, I can't see pics.

For some reasons, I can't see pics.

I just looked from my computer and my phone and all the pics show up. Not sure why you can't see them?
