Red Sea Customizable DIY Aquarium Net Screen Cover Kit

Red Sea Customizable DIY Aquarium Net Screen Cover Kit

The Red Sea Customizable DIY Aquarium Net Screen Cover Kit is an aluminium-framed net top that keeps fish in the aquarium while letting you shape the cover around rim-mounted equipment. It suits open-top tanks, including rimless set-ups, and is a practical choice for reef and freshwater keepers who want a clean, low-profile cover for fish that jump.

Key Benefits

• Helps keep fish in the aquarium with a net screen that sits securely over the opening
• Thin profile and secure mounting hangers blend in with almost any aquarium, even rimless tanks
• Aluminium frame and components let you customise the top around rim-mounted equipment such as lights, filters and returns
• Custom mounting tabs are sleek and hold the top firmly, so it does not fall into the aquarium
• Extra strong aluminium screen frames
• Choice of in-rim or on-rim mounting to suit your tank

How to Use

• Choose in-rim or on-rim mounting, then secure the net top with the custom mounting tabs.
• Use the universal cut out supplied with the kit where equipment needs to pass through the screen.
• For further cut outs, use the excess framing sections left over from the netting kit. This keeps the finish clean and stylish.
• If a long run of the top sags slightly, add a few hanging clips (sold separately) for extra support.

Suitable For

• All open-top tanks
• Rimless aquariums
• Tanks with rim-mounted lights, filters or returns that the cover has to fit around
