DIY screen for tank

Had to split my tank for a few days. Bought my friend some fish she could only collect later and this easy to make and cheap screen solved the problem.


Plastic mesh bought at Builders warehouse garden section and plastic file binders from a stationary store...


Cut screen to size and slide binders over...


Interlock corners. I used binders on all 4 sides to make it extra sturdy as the fish were in the same tank as my betta.


Screen done!


I pushed the bottom into the gravel and used sucker cups i bought at the pet store to keep the top in place.
Even added a tube from plastic mesh for the betta to swim through.

Super cheap, fast and effective.

Nice DIY, thanks for sharing. Must say it looks very neat, they also have the green screen if memory serves ... this will also work well if you want to start a moss wall.

Later Ferdie

 

Oooh. Moss wall! Great idea.

Thank you for taking the time and sharing, Once I upgrade my goldies to a bigger tank then I will convert their 90L in three for Siamese Fighters.
It looks professional made.

 

Genius idea. This will also help if you trying to catch specific fish for quarantine or some other reason.

 

Google is awesome.

Nice work. will keep in mind for emergencies.

 

Thats a very cool idea @ronelrat. I have to build something simular for an open-top tank sometime soon. Thanks for sharing.

 

Very nicely done, another option would be to use eggcrate

 

very nice! Ferdie, a moss wall will look leke

 

I have been toying with an idea of a moss wall, and the Youtube videos in place look very elaborate and complicated.
Sure the shrimp will appreciate a nice moss wall.

 

Mmm, this actually gives me an idea for something i need to attempt ;-)

 

Very nice idea!

 

Nice idea, and easy to get goodies

This is brilliant!

 

So simple and ingenious tho. sometimes we tend to over think or over complicate a task. Well i speak for myself lol

 

I built 3 mosswalls for my shrimp tanks, It was suprisingly easy.
The only issue I have is that the holes in the grid are still a bit on the big side, and allow some of the moss to be pulled out.
Using the dark green mesh and black binders, the screen looks natural.
I can't wait for the moss to start growing out.

 

Looks awesome. Recently been using plastic canvas mesh alot lately.

 

Brilliant idea, especially like the moss wall idea I was just thinking about what to do with a bunch of moss I have.
