Netted Tank Covers To Stop Jumpers

Well I added a beautiful exquisite wrasse (african) and he was zippin and zoomin in my tank. I was just picturing him jumping out of my tank with nothing stopping him....

After he calmed down and went in hiding. The wheels in my head started turning....

So I created netted covers made out of egg crate and some deer/bird netting (used on palnts to prevent them feeding).

Heres what I got... Very simple and easy. Hope this can help some of you out there that have been thinking of a solution.

 

Looks great!! And where are pics of this new wrasse?!

 

Hes in hiding.... dont worry Ill snap some pics when he comes out of hiding.

Hes absolutely stunning. the colors on him are amazing. Male Exquisite Wrasse (African). I had to find a good replacement for my B. Anthias that died.

 

hope that screen is rust proof.. if not may want to paint it.

 

Its not a metal... its a plastic of some type. So no rust there.

 

Thank you.... I was aiming for the sleek and clean look.

 

that looks really good

 

nice, i need to finish my canopy first but something like this is scheduled to follow shortly after.... bookmarked

 

congrats on the new guy - he should be quite a bit hardier than your anthias was. Can't wait to see pics!

And who knew egg crate could look so nice?!
