So using all this time on my hands. I made screen tops for the tank. Project was pretty easy and the materials were cheap. Clear screen from BRS, Rest from Home Depot.

I have extra screen material left over if anyone needs free. PM me.

Check em out.

I have that same screen on my wifes evo 13.5 & my 80g
 
The frame work is Aluminum and the corner pieces are plastic. No corrosion.

I made 2 of these for my 55 gallon when I had it and never had an issue in 10+ years... Way better to make your own than pay much more for something probably not even as nice. Great job!
 
I made a version for rimless tanks where you can still have the rimless look and still have a mesh top. All you need to do different is buy the corners with the lip and instead of measuring the top of the tank you will measure the inside of the tank. You can see it in my thread.

I did the same on my fluval evo 13.5. Keeps the tank looking sharp and you can't even tell it has a mesh top unless you look at it from the top view. However my mesh top rests on 4 clips. Where did you get those corner clips from? I'd like to make two tops and that kind of corner tab would be a perfect fit...Thanks in advanced...

This is where I got mine from. I did have to shave a little bit to get it to fit in the aluminum frames

Have you seen black flange corners?
