Cover for Euro Braced Tank

[Darth_Tater]

Euro Braced tank owners, how do you cover your tank? I'd like to just put a simple screen cover on it.

I'm envisioning the little plugs you put in bookshelves to set the shelf on but with a clip that will slide over the glass instead of a plug. That probably didn't make any sense and I don't know where to look for them anyways.

So how do you cover yours?

I have a rimless and went the fancy route and ordered a screen cover from artistic acrylics. It has not arrived yet. BRS sells a screen kit, that is basically the frame of window screen and mesh.

I'm following your logic (like a lower-case h that clips on sideways) but wouldn't know where to source such a piece. Screen tops are light, so you could simply silicone a few glass or plastic tabs to the underside of your eurobrace. Removable with a razor blade if you don't like how it turns out!

Yes, that's what I would like but I'm wondering about mounting it.

I didn't think about gluing some tabs on. That should work great, and I've even got some glass glue already. Maybe silicon would work better in case I ever wanted to remove it. Thanks for the idea!

Check out clear h channel or channel joiner. You would need to cut one leg off and cut to length, but should be no big deal.

That's a good idea too!
