Ok so today I spent all day building 2 DIY screen tops from BRS for my 75 gallon. First I tried to make it with tons of corners to accommodate my led mounts and feeding station. The covers came out flimsy and just crappy due to all the corners.

So I had to redo just two simple screen covers and a tiny slit for my wave maker cables. Covers are perfect now but I don’t want to make a hole for led mounts and then have to remove mounts every time I clean or move stuff.

Best case scenario I can glue the mount bracket only onto the outside of the rim. Does anyone what would be the best adhesive for this? Other option would be to screw brackets to the wall, but wouldn’t be aesthetically great. Lights are not heavy at all I’d say less than 10lbs together.

had to make covers to accommodate probes and cords.
Just make them 1/2" short, no fish will escape thru that.
 
I’m OCD about that lol, it would bother me. But I only have two cables in the tank for my wavemakers so I cut out a tiny slit in the screen for that.
