Hello Kathy I was hoping I could pay you to make me one for my 120. I had glass cover but my MH broke it from the heat. Right now I'm using egg crate but I find its filtering too much of the light. If you can make me one that would be great. I will pay you for all the material,leg work and of course your precious time. LMK Thanks Joe

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.

Joe..if I have enough supplies (no glue at the moment...) to make you a cover, sure I'd like to help keep your fish safe. Since I'm not a vendor and have no desire to step on any toes, I don't/won't/can't 'sell' the covers, then again I'm not giving them away for free either! I'll send you a PM to discuss it.

Dom..I vaguely recall seeing pics of the cover that was on that tank when Steve had it and it was part of the original inspiration for me & these covers. Maybe we can figure out a way to retrofit a door for you
Definitely want to see the shark tank anyway, and yes, those poor two now bruised brain cells you have left aren't far off the track on how to attach a cover to a tank with eurobracing or no lip at all. We'll come up with something for that too.
Yes, the shark lagoon..offline...lol I'm not letting you anywhere near my pond though!
