question on tank cover

[jacobl]

any suggestion for tank cover, I just bought used visio glass tank 4x2 with glass support in the middle. Open top about 16x23" on each side. Would like to get screen top to avoid fish jumping out. Any suggestion where to buy ready made screen for this size? I plan to get led lights for reef tank

Thanks much

Pick up a screen frame kit at your local Home Depot or Lowe's and cut the frame to the exact size of your tank (I used a Dremel). Then use a fine screen to attach to the frame - Bulk Reef Supply sells 0.25" nylon mesh that works great.

Thanks for the input. I like the net idea to avoid lost of lights, any idea where to buy the one that already made? I am not great with tools

If you get the kit from BRS, you don't have to be good w/ tools - I only used a hacksaw to cut the frame to size, otherwise it is just a matter of physically inserting the netting/spline into the frame.
