    get the mesh top, I had 3 wrasse and a clown jump, over $300 in fish carpet surf. It's $20 and well worth it!

    probably, I'm not sure of the opening size though. It truly is easy to make the one in the link I posted.

    like cosmo mentioned, you can easily make a really good top/screen yourself. I used the BRS 1/4" netting to make mine Clear Netting - Bulk Reef Supply

    You can get Spline, Spline roller, & screen door framing/frame corners at any Home Depot or Lowes. I found it really easy and I'm not a DIY kinda guy.

    I wouldn't risk ordering something that wasn't made for a SW tank. I love my mesh top, it fits perfectly and has saved me so much stress and $ with jumpers.

    MoJoe brought up a good point. Chances are that thing is amde of cheap metal which will rust and possibly contaminate your tank. The mesh set up should run ya about $20 total.

    The only problem is getting the chords from the pumps to allow the screen to sit flush and not look streamline

    you can always put a little inset corner with some extra 90s from Lowes. just create a little notch in each corner
