D-d Jumpgaurds?

[milo24]

Hey guys so this might be a bit of a stupid question but I can’t seem to find an answer.

Anyone know how people get their jumpgaurds so flush to the tank? Does it just sit on top of the tank loosely or is there some sort of clip that keeps them in place? Looking at people’s photos I can’t tell but they look such a perfect fit.


Again I understand this is probably a very stupid question but I’m a very stupid person.



Thanks in advance

I think it's generally about the cut, but also maybe glass thickness? I left around 5mm at the back edge of mine for cables and is still pops/locks in nicely...

Okay thank you! Everyone’s just seem to fit in so flush lol I’m considering getting something like these to place it on but not too sure I’ll give it ago without first...

It doesn't use those sorts of clips, it has its own "lip"

Ahh okay I think I get what you mean, told you I was being stupid. I thought it was just like a solid plastic strip that people managed to balance perfectly

No it's just a lip that drops a few millimetres inside the tank to stop it sliding around and a lip over the glass of about the same. It does need to be measured accurately. There's a few tutorials on YT

Just got mine done a few days ago and actually like it more than my expensive custom acrylic one.
