Default Clips for Eggcrate on a Rimless Tank

I want to put eggcrate on my rimless tank.

Does anyone know of any sort of clip on the market?

I don't know of any stock clips off the top of my head but I'll offer this: if you have exhausted all possibilities and can't find something that works for what you want, I'll design and 3D print some clips for you.

Would be easy to cut and bend your own out of some lexan.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

In theory yes, but ....

I think that I have sourced some made by ADA aquariums. They are stainless and I have to see what they are going to charge for them ...

BTW they have some nice tanks and cube tanks that would be outstanding for nanao reef tanks, pricey, but nice.

Actually, if it is just the egg crate that you want to seat in place on your rimless tank, you could do it without any clips at all. Just cut it so that it is overhanging the tank by one hole, and then clip out the bottoms all around so the top of the egg crate is near flush with the top of the tank. Then it will be seated in place and can't slip off.
