Water Flow in 36g Bowfront

Thought about replacing mine with acrylic but haven't had any issues without it
 
I don't like my center brace either. Also, the lid that it cam with blocks almost all light so I think I'm gonna have to buy an all glass lid.
 
Yeah I bought a glass top for mine....woulda preferred a mesh top just to keep jumpers in but the glass is ok....they are about 30 bux
 
I'm going to order the brs mesh kit for mine, then cut a piece of 1/4 inch acrylic to fit the curved part, and add hinges to it so I can open it for feeding.
 
My lfs ordered it for me....would have made a mesh one but I'm not handy and the curve intimidated me lol....I don't imagine they would block much if any light a few small sticks and some twine could do the job I'm sure
 
I have an acrylic cutting blade for my table saw. Picked it up when I made my own acrylic frag racks. I plan on just taking my time on the curve. I'll order a big enough piece of acrylic in case I need to make a second one.
