RIP Clowny

[MadReefer]

So after work the designer clown fish went tile surfing.
That is 2 fish in 2 weeks costing $200.
Guess I need to wait for an upgrade to get a proper lid.

Mark if it’s a square tank you can pick up screen netting and all the stuff you need right at Home Depot it takes about 20 minutes to make a lid.
The only thing is they have regular screen like for a window. I prefer the quarter inch clear square screen you get from like BRS, marine Depot or any of those online places. I may even have spare net. What dimension do you need

I used the BSR kit. It works great. Here is my experience with it if you are interested: DIY Mesh Top

Its a corner so have to deal with the curved front.

I never liked curved tanks. Sure there different. But it makes everything difficult. Does someone make a curved screen?

Nope, I have checked many times.
Yes, they are difficult which is why I want to get rid of it.

Did you try going to a store that make screen doors & screens for windows? That's what I was going to try when I got my big tank ready. Hey, u never know.

I tried many things. I found one place on-line where you can bend the frame a bit. I contacted them and asked about the corner and they did not think it would bend / work. Plus they had no connection for the back which is triangle shape. Theirs is a 90 degree angle that locks in.

Its a nice tank just not for me as I cannot keep that front curve glass clean easily. I literally have to dive in every weekend and scrub it with a hand held scrubby. I barely reach the bottom.

@MadReefer Mark can you send me an accurate inside measurement of the tank. “Needed mesh frame size. I have a crazy idea. But will take a bit of work. So if you may keep the tank send me the measurements. If your definitely not keeping it than never mind lol. But in short. I could try 3d printing multiple odd corner angles and basically hexagon the front curve.

Matt, Thanks. As of now I don't plan to keep it; getting an estimate for my office next week. It will depend on that cost; so if its high no office and will keep the corner. Otherwise, gone and back to a normal rectangular tank.

If you keep the corner. And you trace the top with cardboard. For a template. I will give a shot at printing a solution
