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

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.
