HarryPotter Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Can someone tell me who makes custom acrylic lids? I have an JBJ 28g nano(bow front), I will need one custom made. Why acrylic? That'll warp, and look terrible with evaporation after less than 12 hours. The better way to go is with the BRS Mesh lid kit Link to comment
elusianzxelo Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Thought might look better. I don't mind to go with MRS Mesh lid kit, but my problem is that my nano has a bow front, that is why I was hoping that there is places I can order one pre-made. Link to comment
atriz Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 !!read all the forums and tried to make my own and failed. but i found this and it really does work great and doesnt make the tank look badhttp://www.rimlessaquariumlids.com Link to comment
Urchinhead Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 You can buy a screen making kit at Home Depot, Menards, etc. You can also get some nylon 1/4" bird netting from your local nursery. You then use the screen kit rails and bend them or segment them so they mold somewhat around your bow front. You also do 90* angles for your equipment if any. It doesn't look too bad and it will keep fish in for sure while still allowing good gas exchange. This is what I did on all my rimless tanks. It kept the bloody Wrasse in the tank while still letting me keep the "rimless" look I wanted. Link to comment
zak.payne Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 What I did on my rimless tank was just build the screen small enough to fit within the tank and siliconed some small tabs to keep it from falling it. It's a nice fit (no room for jumpers on the sides) and it is completely recessed so it doesn't take away from the clean lines of the tank. Link to comment

bodiam Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 BRS sells a nice screen kit and I believe you can buy clips for it there as well. I just replaced the eggcrate I had on my Solana with the BRS screen. Link to comment
SunWyrm Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I probably won't ever replace my eggcrate frame, it works too well. I don't even notice it anymore, and it saves my crazy chalk bass all the time. I don't think I could make a screen kit go around and over my overflow like it does. I use the rimless cover clips off Ebay and it sits even with the edge of the tank. Link to comment

Exodus Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I used to leave it rimless and took my chances, lost Wheeler Eye Goby, Royal Garamma, and 2 clown fish over 4 year period. I finally said enough and made a screen top for the tank, Link to comment
