Screen for top

Jackie Blue · 09/11/2009, 03:12 PM

I saw a picture on here this week and somebody had a screen setup on their tank. I cannot find it. Though I know the screen material was called bridal veil, and it came as a kit with prefabricated corners and straight pieces. Does anybody know what I am talking about?

You can get a window screen kit from your local home improvement store; you get the aluminum frame, corner pieces, and the rubber . . . string (that's not the right term, but I can't think of it right now!) that holds the screen into the channel of the frame. I, and a lot of others, have used the bird netting that is made for covering ponds, also available at your local home improvement store. I don't know where you'd find the bridal veil though.

HTH!

get the screen frame and the vinyl cord that goes with it. Then in the lawn and garden area of say your favorite ACE there should be some pond netting. Use it for your screen. Fish should not be able to jump through but also lets light penetrate through.
