Diy bow front screen top

[ChrisB]

I am looking to build a screentop for my 36 bow front. Has anyone done this before for a bow front? I have a few ideas 1 is to make the rectangle part of the tank out of aluminum frame and the frone bow cut out of plexi with a jigsaw . 2 is to make whole frame out of plexi by tracing my glasstop on sheet and cutting some with table saw and rest with jig saw. also does anyone know if I can get the clear mesh from Home depot?

i would build it like a regular rectangle and leave the lip open upfront. the 3 fish that jumped on me i noticed all jumped out the back or sides, never in the front but thats just me. im sure it has happened . but i would build it like that

If I were you I would order the clear screen from bulk reef supply.

Losing light due to a bad screen = sad sad.
