My New wrasse top

Tell me what do you think?  No more flying fish.  I wanted to find something to cover the top of my tank, but still let the light in.  But I didn't want to ruin the look of the open top.  Well I built a screen frame the size of my tank and used garden netting for a screen.  I saw this from Gary Majchrzak.  A former RC TOTM  in the Upstate New york reef club forum.  He had just acquired a bunch of wrasses like me and had built this to cover his tank.  So I got in touch with him and he told me what I needed and here is the end result.  I know Jon could of built it better, but I'm happy with it. I still have that clean open top look.

Brad, Please post how you made that or pm me. That looks like the perfect solution.

that looks great..  mass produce them and sell on ebay he he..  nice work brad

It's a plastic netting called garden cloth, very strong and weather resistant. I got it in the garden section at lowes.   I just fed them and one tried to jump out, and he hit the netting and bounced right back in the water.  It works!

Here is the link that Gary sent me to make these if anyone is interested.

Excellent looking top. Only if I could make one for my 3gal pico :(

It's very easy to take off. I have my acrylic magnet cleaner holding it in place. I just remove the magnet and lift it off. Takes seconds.  You need to stop by sometime Jamison.

I just made 3 of these for my 210 gallon tank. I am not the least bit handy. Sometimes I get in trouble trying to open the mail. This was a very easy project!
