Mesh Lid idea
 

Someone pointed me towards this on RC

Mesh Lids

I did one very similiar. Although i used pvc instead of anything metal.
Works very we'll and haven't had any of my fish jump yet and i have a large amount of wrasse's.
Found the netting at homedepot after searching for something that was small enough but wasn't going to melt under the lights.

Works really we'll:)

Photos?

What type of netting did you use? Agreed, pics would also be nice.

I am at work. But when i get home i will take it off and post some photo's.
I will also have to look at home for the bag that the net came in. I believe it was used to keep birds out of your garden.

Neat idea. I like that better than eggcrate that's for sure!

The netting used in the link is called clear knotted bird netting.

I made a lid out of nylon mesh from Rona. It comes in different sizes, and is quite cheap. I made a frame out of wood and attached the mesh to it. Works great.

doesnt that affect the amount of lighting going to the tank just curious.

I wonder, which method egg crate or mesh has the most effect on the lighting?
