So I've seen some pretty nice DIY screen tops for aquaria with your standard black rim and square corners. But I've got (not necessarily by choice) a rimless acrylic tank with rounded front corners. I'm wondering if anybody has had success fashioning a screen top for such a tank that maintained a high aesthetic appeal. I've got an acrylic top on there for now, but anticipate problems with heat come summer.

You can see pictures and details of my tank in my build thread in this forum: http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2132279&highlight=tyler+s

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've got a nice cover over my 12g aquapod, it has 2 rounded corners. I had this stuff in my garage, its a galvanized steel mesh. I wanna say its chicken wire, not sure where's to get it, I just had a small roll in my garage. I then used wire cutters to snip it to size and shape
