Covering Tank Top

[Blue Ram]

Went to both Rona and Totem and Sunnyside - all the garden netting has too large of holes to use. They only had screening which I do not like because I can't even feed pellets through it. Will be ordering some 1/4 clear screening in. Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

You can double-up and over-lap the larger netting if you're alright with the way it'll look.

Canadian Tire Garden section is where I found my screen, 1/4" but 50' roll for like 10.00 this one is 29 x 16"




Pics are blurry but gives you an idea about what to look for .

I guess i should look into this, I just found my flasher wrasse as a dried up piece of jerkey behind my tank Not bad tho, first jumper in 4 years.

yah, screens are definitely the way to go, I've lost two cleaner wrasses and a mystery wrasse through light diffuser. I also lost a Labouti wrasse because it was strong enough to knock the cover clean off the tank.

If there is only one awkward angle of approach for them to fit through the hole, they will find it.
