I'm thinking of doing canopy for my tank so pls can you give me some sugestions and pic pls if you can... I was thinking of something like window screen (against bugs and mosquitos....) but not sure if it will "take" too much light? Ideas, sugestions, pics....
Tnx :-)

Are you talking canopy, or a mesh screen lid to keep jumpers in?

This is what most of us use.

No sweat.
Many of us have done this, works great, no issues at all w/ lights.
I would look at the kits from BRS(Bulk reef supply)
Though you can find all materials elsewhere, it does help take the guesswork out for you on what to use.

No parts for this in few stores....I spend half day searching and nothing :-( ...only thing I found in all dimensions and colours is hinge....no cleat netting no alu guidelines (found plastic guidelines for cables and it could be ok)...it seems that ebay will work...

There are a hole bunch of sites now with DIY canopies. For the longest time there were only a few but this is a great one that I have used in the past http://www.reefaquarium.com/2013/building-aquarium-canopy/
I like the ability to open the front of it. So many canopies have just little doors in the from ( I am guilty of that ) which make it difficult to access the tank.
 
Something is fuc*ed up with that site....cant see pics and txt is black and back colour is datr blue?!? Is it my comp or...?
Tnx anyway :-)

i used the bulk reef supply kit. worked like a charm. ive already witnessed it first hand, stopping my wrasse from jumping 2 times.
 
Story goes on... :-)
Since I can't find materials here and BRF don't sent to europe (btw kit is great but :-( ) I need help... I found clear nett on ebay but other stuff is problem...in fact I'm problem coz I cant find other components on ebay coz of my english (whatever I write I get something else :-) ) so if any of you would be nice to send ebay links for all component I need....
...beer is on me.. :-)
