Awesome thread Kathy! My covers are made of the clear mesh. Since it was made for a 72 bowfront, aluminum used for screen door windows was used with the rubber sealing thread. Mine are also under halides with no stretching or sagging. I have no doors though so I have to take the screen completely off.
Of course I didn't make it, it came with the tank! heuerfan made them (Thanks Steve!).
I need a cover for one of my shark tanks. The only problem is it is custom made of acrylic with no lips. It is 8' long by 3' wide. Do you think a similar mesh cover like yours would be fine sitting on top of the tank and some how weighed down? I'd like to avoid drilling holes to hold it in place. Maybe I can make loops on each corner and use nylon stretch cord to connect the loops on each corner to hooks lower than the top of the tank on the wall? Two to the back wall and two to the sides?
Don't make fun of me, I read your thread and I tried using the one or two brain cells that are functioning at the moment
to come up with ideas.
I'll have to tap your brain for my shark pond / lagoon.
That one we'll take off line though.
