20g canopy

[ordi260]

Hi!  I have a regular (not long) e0/ tank and a wrasse that likes to jump...do any of you have plans on how to build a canopy for my tank?  I have a fair amount of plumbing on the back so i know ill need to readjust for that but anyway...im seeking advice!

Thanks

If you want a screen cover instead of an actual canopy, you can make one out of plastic screening and some window screen frame material like so....



To allow for the plumbing at the rear, you can use a strip of eggcrate...



The holes in the screen are 1/4"x1/4" - too small for wrasse (I think) They ARE NOT, however, too small for a cleaner shrimp to climb through.  I don't know how he did it, but I woke up to cleaner shrimp jerky on top of the screen the other day.

If you want to give it a try, I have extra screen.
