Option B - Using velcro instead of a staple gun, and the 3' long gutter guard panel.

TOTAL COST - LESS THAN 4 BUCKS!

where do you buy gutter guard?

bluespotjawfish · 03-04-2007, 10:24 PM

Home Depot

The Home Depot or Lowes hardware store.

Velcro!
That ingenious!
I am looking into making my 55 jump proof and I have the gutter guard panel but I was not sure how to attach it to the acrylic tank.

Nice idea!

I bought screen frames from Lowe's and made frames the size of the openings in the top of my acrylic tank and hold them in place on top using velcro. Instead of screening I bought 1/4" mesh pond netting from watergardens.org. It keeps the critters in (I have a blue spot jawfish and several wrasses) and doesn't block the light.

Nice Jstorey. Can you post some some pictures of it?

Looks good. I don't think it's anti-jump proof. Maybe just jump proof.

With the addition of my bluespot we had to make the 90g jump proof. This one was actually pretty easy. Since it is a tech tank and has T5 lights in the center of the tank, we simply took two peices of eggcrate and covered them with window screen. Attached it together with zip ties and the tank is covered. The only potential problem I see is if we forget to put the front piece back on after feeding.
Here are a couple of pics of what we did.
