Spline: $5

Total: ~$100

I tried to locate some items at dollar store but could not find any :-(

Oh, I see. I guess you did need more stuff than I did. My screen was 18" by 60", two bags of corners and only two 11 feet frames. You should post your build though as a lot of people have bow fronts and would probably be interested in how you did yours.

You don't need to put weights or anything on these? What if the fish used a buddy system? Big tang rockets for the surface and pops this badboy up. Wrasse on the followup and high-fin to the tang as he squeaks on through...

Just sayin'...

No feet, but that is probably not a bad idea! What you were seeing was probably a bead of water dripping from the eurobrace. I had just cleaned the tank and I'm pretty aggressive with the cleaning. Thank god for the splash guard

That feat would be something to see! I should set up a camera to capture that. I'm sure the screen would lift a bit if it was hit but would take some force for a fish to completely lift it out of the way I think. The whole thing is only slightly lighter than eggcrate.

You brought a dead tang back to like bro...if it's GOING to happen it's going to happen in your tank and somehow exactly when you have your camera/howitzer ready. I look forward to the pics...or even video!
