BRS DIY screen top question

[Sobo's Reef]

I tried asking a few questions on what would be good for my Fluval 13.5 tank as it is 19" long and only 11" deep but they still haven't answered me.

Question #1.
Do you think a 2ft roll of screen will be fine?
Question #2
Would you go with 1/4" or 1/8" screen opening?
Question #3
The clips they sell so you can sit the screen on top of. They have numerous ones available ranging from I think 8mm to 15mm maybe? Which ones would fit a 3/8" glass???

Any help would be greatly appreciated guys!!! Thanks!!!

Question 1 - yes, should be plenty
Question 2 - 1/4" - to let more light through
Question 3 - 3/8" = .375" = 9.525 mm

1. Yes 2' roll is fine
2. Really dependent on how small/how much you are planning on keeping jumpers. They did a test and light transmission difference are negligible. The 1/8" mesh has allowed me to keep firefish for over a year for the 1st time in my 13.5 evo.
3. 3/8=9.525 mm
