    Looking for ideas to cover a 48x48x12 rimless reef tank without blocking too much light. Just to stop any people from jumping out.

    Perhaps a simple paper sign warning people to stay out of the tank will prevent them from jumping out!!! :)

    Just kidding - but on a serious note you can certainly consider building one of the BRS mesh netting screen tops - only thing is that it will not look as pretty as it was when rimless :(.

    Heard some kid on youtube call his fish " people" and lmao been saying it ever since :). And yea I thought of the brs mesh, was hoping maybe someone with a rimless had a better looking cover tat has worked.

    What about the mesh that just has hooks on all 4 corners that hangs inside the cube?

    I'm looking for something too, for my rimless nano. I'll be watching this thread as well.
