Making a screen but have a over flow box and 4 RMS mounts to go around with window frame. Anyone try this successfully ?
 
I recently remade two of my screen tops with window screen and the mesh from BRS. I had to work around the 3/4" return line in the corner. I superglued the necessary plastic corner pieces together (with minor trimming as needed). Not sure how it will hold up over time but so far, so good. Good luck with your project!

Pic ?
 
Lights are out tonight in that room, but I'll try to post a pic tomorrow. Feel free to remind me.
Yeah man. I got the BRS screen net. So i have 4 AI Hydras above my red sea. i would need to also build the net around the over flow box as well. You can imagine.. it's quite of bit of 90 degree corners. 20 corners just on the back side to where the over flox box is to accomodate the mounting arms.

Someone mentioned.. how come you dont bring the screen cover up more to give the mounts room. I thought about it and that would defeat the purpose of providing a screen net. incase the new wrasse get spooked and happen to be against that wall , i'd be screwed as they would just swim straight up and over.

Again, i have a melanurus wrasse and she never jumped. I hear leopards are different? So this is the route i'm trying to tackle.
 
Not sure if this would work for your scenario but here is the top and bottom view of what I did...

Another approach would be to add some type of back strip (see link below for the general idea)...


The back strip could be notched as appropriate to fit around whatever mounts etc. that are in the way of the cover.
