Home made aquarium top

Well I decided I want a ywg and I didn't want to get a glass top so I made one. I thought my phone was saving the pictures I was taking as I went along but I only have one. Stupid phone... anyways I'm waiting for paint to dry so here's the one I do have, its the completed frame without the mesh on it. It'll be going on my 29g.

 

Congrats can't wait to see the finished project.

 

Thanks 2in 10, you gave me the idea to use wire instead if egg crate.

 

Nice work! I caught your thread on light diffuser this morning and was waiting for this thread!

 

It sucks bc I had been taking pictures but my phone wasn't saving them. I thought it had been, I started typing the thread and found out. I wasn't happy lol

 

Well here it is, all painted black. Gonna go get my goby now lol

 

Here it is on top of the aquarium and the space in the back is the only spot it could jump out of if it aimed. I may try and put some mesh over that area, its kinda big...

 

great looking project, very similar to this one...
