cool built! where did you find the mesh to make the cover for the top? Ive tried to look in home depot but couldnt find it

maybe i was looking in the wrong section.

Thanks! Found it in the garden center of Home Depot. It's called Bird Netting or Bird Dfence. (might be harder to find in the winter) Cheap too!

All your little fish look so FAT healthy and colorful! I can't get over how much awesome the tank looks after such a short period of time. Rockwork is nice and it looks like a really interesting tank to park in front of. Nooks and crannies galore.

I think you're palying with fire with those gaps in the netting. I have nothing to base this off but I think fish are more likely to escape near perimeters as they come up the glass. Maybe not but...

Thanks Brett! I tend to overfeed ALOT!

Actually if you are right then I should be covered! The top of the halfcircle has an insert thing that actually edges all along the glass squaring it off (actually makes for limited accessibility in the tank) so if they follow the glass and "up" they would hit the edge. I know I will still have the odd jumper...but it helps.
