Netted Tank Lid

We did the same sort of DIY lid for our open 75 only we used the plastic window frame kits for the frame of the netting and doubled the netting a time or two to cut down on the size of the holes.

One word of caution, when we did ours, we had a small, and I mean very small gap in between the frame and the tank and wouldnt you know it.....our diamond goby found that space. He was extremely suicidal and a very good shot!

Looks like nice though. Gives it a much more complete look than the eggcrate!

 

Great idea.
You can varnish your wood dowels & to bend you can soak them and add weights to the ends. I think plastic rods would be easier and they come in square shapes too.

Yes you can heat plastic & bend it.. I'd use a heat gun...I have one for using with embossing powder in stamping (so you can get one cheap @ a craft store). I've used it many times to heat plastic or to shrink tubing on electrical wiring.
