Damn brother. I'm so sorry that you lost a clown fish. Great tips for making the screen. Measure twice and cut once...lol. Thanks for sharing and as always do what you do if it works for you.
just becareful using any kind of sprays around or near a screened tank... everything.. air fresheners , glass cleaners - vacuuming anything that swirls the air around in the area of the tank.. meaning cleaning your front door - floors - staircase etc spraying bug spray buy front door ... just sharing my thoughts I've experienced in my life with tanks with screen tops 😘
ABH3 rOSECRANS it’s just sitting on some spare tiles from Home Depot. You’re right, you don’t need any of the gadgets but I don’t do weekly water changes 😅
Sorry about the fish, these things happen.. I love the custom lid it looks awesome. Are you planning on putting a little knob or handle on it so when you do need to remove it it'll be easy to take off?
I saw someone mention that they built one of these and the frame leached aluminum into their reef tank...Have you experienced this or is it still going strong? Love the looks.
prolificbreed I didn’t expect the chicken wire mesh to hold up in the window frame glad I didn’t try it I’m sure it’s more expensive to get stainless steel mesh to. You should make a video on HOBF with this mesh and how you rout around it. Something new? Thanks for the information
I just bought my first tank used, ladles and rimless. This was immensely helpful, thank you.
Congrats!

NYGOLD awesome idea! yea I was think of a tab of some sort
Vid is pretty old now but could you put the measurements for this lid on here? I’m trying to do the same lid for the lagoon 25 as well.
sorry I don't have the measurements currently. After a couple months I went back to lidless
I like the look. What were the measurements you used?
Cynthia Knight hmm I don’t have them on hand but remember to compensate for the frame
Did the mesh ever sag or did it hold up without sagging ?
no sagging. i think if it does sag, you can put a heat gun to it to tighten it up
I saw someone mention that they built one of these and the frame leached aluminum into their reef tank...Have you experienced this or is it still going strong? Love the looks.
I have not heard of this issue. I only had the lid on for a bit before I went lidless again
@@prolific_breed why did you go lidless again though? Isn't that risky?
Blake Adams it is risky. I got tired of taking it on and off.
but where can i get that plastic from
Khalil Hannah the netting can be found at bulk reef supply but others have used anti slip underlay from ikea called “stopp”
How has the temperature controller been?
Still doing good. With the Red Sea up and running i have two now
Is the mesh galvinised
It’s clear plastic from bulk reef supply
@@prolific_breed looks like metal in the vid
@@hakman239 www.bulkreefsupply.com/clear-netting.html
What about hang on back filters
you can still do it. You need a couple more of the right angles and make it indent in. To be honest after a couple weeks I went screen less again lol

shooterjon mku the mesh is from bulk reef supply someone had extra and gave to me. We just need the light to pass through.
prolificbreed makes sense. Got ya self a new subscriber. Like your videos I’m seeing so far
