Really nice but I know how expensive this stuff is commercially. I hope you made your own like I did from screen making material from a hardware store literally saved lots of $$$$
You said it! I have seen the prices of the custom mesh tops, wow!

I made this mesh top myself using the D-D Jumpguard system. A little more expensive than screen making material (which I have used on other tanks) but the D-D rails have a lip on them which means I don't have to use clips to get it to work on my rimless tank so it makes the price difference pretty close.

I received a Yellow Watchman Goby from Biota to replace the one that went carpet surfing while I was modifying my mesh top. I also got a Lemonpeel Angelfish to help with my hair algae. I have been quarantining and pre-medicating with copper and Prazipro but I feel like medicating these 2 isn't necessary as they are captive bred from Biota so I plan on just qt'ing with observation for a month then moving them to the DT.
