Reddit reviews Clear Mesh Netting 6' x 4'

I made similar coasters and had a similar problem. What I did with the next coasters I made was get a sheet of a fine, thin, clear plastic netting - like this - and then add the top mod podge and clear coating over the net. The netting is not very visible yet provides small pockets of air which keeps the condensation/glass from sticking to it.

For the frame I used a house window screen frame kit which you can get a hardware store

Sure, happy to help! Here is an example of how my free play/exercise bin looks today. There's a dish with soil/seeds for digging, some tubes, a little wooden castle from Michael's, an egg carton, etc. Really you can put almost anything in there and they love it. Goodwill's has baby toys very cheap that often are good for mice too. I made the lid with this aquarium mesh and I just used Gorilla Tape to stick it onto the lid (which I cut with a box cutter). It is not safe for long term since they can chew the mesh, but I can leave them for a minute so they don't accidentally climb out and I don't worry about my dog sticking his head in there. It would be much better with metal hardware cloth -- search "bin cage DIY" and you'll see lots of examples.

Enjoy!

I cut out 2 areas for the filters. It works great for keeping all the fish and snails in while also allowing my lights to fully hit the tank. Other people make frames out of screen window kits but I'm not handy enough to use a power saw so I secured the mesh to my tank with command strips:

and just lift areas/corners of the mesh off when I need to access that part of the tank.

Nice tank, I love rimless cubes. I have a 60 gallon that I made a lid for. I used screen door framing, this nettingfor the screen, and black spray paint to match my stand. Works like a charm.

Here is the final product

Buy This: Screen Frame Kit , this: Clear Net Mesh, this: Lid Clips (Measure the size you need first), and make this: https://imgur.com/8FiHIVB.

Note the link goes to a kit that is 60". You'll need more than that... I didn't purchase the same one in the link. I got mine at a local hardware store for about 1/2 the price.

Here is the screen kit: Screen Kit

buy the screen frame at the hardware store and buy the netting on amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Far-Edge-Aquatics-Clear-Netting/dp/B00OABXY9O

This plus this makes a super professional looking mesh lid. You can use scissors to snip appropriate size holes in the netting.
