Clips for a Eurobraced tank

[solitude127]

Does someone know where to find clip like these but for a Eurobraced tank?

i never seen them made for eurobraced, But you can always make some with scrap 1/4 acrylic and bend them with a torch.

That's a good idea but knowing me, I'd probably burn down the house. lol..

Cut off the down outside part and silicone the top of the clip to the top of the eurobrace. The screen would still sit flush with the top of your tank. But if it's eurobraced you could just set the screen on top. Hah!

Just put some tabs on the screen that stick out a bit to sit on the eurobrace while the screen sits inside level with the eurobrace

The turned out really nice... I just sent them a chicken scratched drawing with measurements. I'm glad I got the feed door. Unless I'm pulling a coral, I'll never need to move it.

I wanted to get one but then I saw the pricing. and that's when I knew I wasn't that into the hobby anymore. sad day

so what about for cleaning, how you going to clean with the top on? Maybe I wait to long between using the magnet because I always have to get in there with the blade to scrape off coraline

glue some acrylic tabs onto the top part of the screen... very easy..

The feed door is pretty good size... so the medium flipper or similar magnet can be put in the water in that spot.

I feel you, I just didn't want to make some hoakie screen and try to work around the light legs. I've got some fish in this temp tank that I've had for 8 years now, so it was an insurance policy if you will.

Mike is looking to make it more complicated so I don't think that will work.
