I ordered one, but no instructions... Anyone ever assembled one? If so how much do cut off ends to compensate for corner insert?

I left a inch and went back and trimmed it after with a razor knife

I had a two gobies jump in less than a week so I ordered the kit. Just want to make sure I cut the frame lengths right... :)

For mine I put an end on and put it on top of the tank where I wanted it set the other end on top and marked with a permanent marker and then took outside and cut

The thing I'm trying to figure out is how to get my jebao cords out of the tank and get a good seal to keep the fishies in

If u can cut the corner outer edge carefully you'd have a place for the cords to pass

I left a gap at the back of the tank large enough for the cords to fit through. Haven't had any jumpers since I've installed the screen.

I realize you probably have already finished your top; but in case you haven't...
i made it so it sits entirely on the top edge. I used stick-on rubber feet to create a small gap for chord to pass.
I made a YouTube video under mrskumfrog
