Hey Chuck. LOL we haven't had many mishaps so far. Some styrofoam chucked in along w/a Marble, paper, dog food, and milk (just dripped in). The fish are still alive and seem to be thriving. well they are eating anyway...lol
You know what kind of screen I can use? I'm assuming regular mesh window screen?? It won't rust. I'm just nervous about what may be on it that could drip into the water due to condensation... yes, I worry a lot and SW tanks will probably be the end of me

How about rigging plastic screen, like is used for crafts. You can buy pretty big pieces & hand sew it together to get the top size you want and then sew side pieces on to hold it over your tank. Another thought is the open weave fabric that is used for lawn chairs, tacked to a simple painted wood frame.
Metal screening would be toxic for your fish if it should end up in the water for any reason. (kids).
Personally I would just buy a glass cover that is made for that tank, $16.99 at Drs. Foster & Smith.

I would think that an all glass cover would lead to oxygen exchange issues, especially in the winter when the house is closed is closed up more. I did buy one for the tank and received a resounding..."Don't use it". That's when I cut some egg crate to fit.
I'll head to the Depot to look at the kits for DIY Screens. Thanks for the info
Much appreciated.

I bought some lighting stuff from our lrc meeting. Reflectors, Ballast for 4-65watt bulbs. I'm getting excited and have already drawn an example what I'll do 
As well as already talked to the hubby about making it for me. I can't do this stuff 
There were some really nice corals at the lrc meeting yesterday. I really did like the candy cane that I was shown. The problem was I didn't want to buy something and have it die b/c my current lighting isn't strong enough. I'd feel bad about just about killing it on purpose (b/c i knew my lights weren't enough).
Next time I'll be ready
