DIY Screen Canopy Help Needed!

[Nigel35]

Need to build a screen canopy for my JBJ rimless tank. Only prob is that the edges are curved not perpendicular! Anybody gotten past this issue? Any help greatly appreciated

It might be helpful if you posted a photo of the 'curved' edge. I think most of us are unfamiliar with the JBJ tank you are talking about.

I'm big on diy stuff in this hobby and I'm in the process of doing a screen top for my 90g rimless tank.

Haven't found a kit or even a way to make a nice looking DIY screen with the curved edges

Red sea kit may work. I would have a local glass/window shop make it for you

You’ll have to hold it short so there’s a small gap in front. Or build it bigger to sit over the top of it all.

By round edges, you mean the round corners of the tank?

There is a guy on here that does custom screen covers. I can think of his name off the top of my head. I didn't make a note of it because I knew I'd be making my own. In fact, I'm just putting the finishing touches to my diy led fixture brackets and will be starting on a screen cover in the next day or two. (It will all be in my build thread)

I know you said DIY but if you change your mind Clearview Lids have JBJ tanks in their list of products. I have no affiliation but do have one of their lids on my reefer 170 and the quality is top notch. A Google search will bring them up.

I used those plastic screen corners from Home Depot and sanded them to match the tank. I originally used black veil but ended up ordering 1/4 mesh which is on there now. For the clips to keep on I used pieces of acrylic that I glued to the frame and painted everything black. The white pieces you see were put on to see if it worked before installing the acrylic pieces.
