Can we get some info on the build for that topper?

It was cut on a CNC machine. 2 layers of plexiglas screwed down to plywood. Then pond mesh glued between with Weldon.
I'm sure the same could be done with a dremel and some time.

Here is mine from a 54 corner I no longer have. Screen glued between 2 pieces of plexiglas.

what are the dimensions to cut and make this/or to have made because Im not capable of doing so myself

I am curious how the tank is fed. I assume you would have to lift the entire screen for feeding and set it on a table or floor when working on the tank. I can imagine the salty mess I would make I think a hinged top would be handy.

I saw a thread once where someone made a mesh screen top for their bowfront using a heat gun and a thin dowel. Let me find it...

Ah, a reef2reef thread, even better!

I can see if my friend still has the CNC program.

Drop the food right through the mesh
