wait till you see the other one i'm working on...

Maybe you should quit working on renderings and work on getting some water in the beast. At the rate you're going I'll have my upgrade done before you do. ; )

anyhooo..... :fish:





So whats the nicest part of having a rimless? Seeing the naked glass on top. But unfortunately because of some of our stocking choices we have to put screens on our tanks..
And for rimless tanks this is a very sad thing... so with this build i wanted to do something else..
I had many different versions but finally came up with this... the TST's (ToXIc's Screen Tabs :nerd: )

tab3_zps1feac723.gif


what it does, it allows the screen to placed inside the tank 1/4" below the top. It glues to the plastic corner of the screen instead of gluing metal to plastic.

And thus retaining the rimless look!!

Interesting... do you use a single piece of netting across the entire thing?

yes.. and get the "screen cross brace" parts to keep the screen from rolling/twisting just like in big windows..

I sense a weekend full of salty-ness. Breaking down one tank, moving it, installing it elsewhere, moving your big boy tank, filling it...etc... Oh yeah, and our club meeting!


Hope what comes out as great as you imagine it?
