      Goodness...it was a while since I made the DD lid. Absolutely love my DD lid, it was a little tricky to build, but a very sleek design and doesn't retract from the beauty of your tank and corals. I think it will be my go to for lids for any future tanks. Thank you for the comment mate 🙌🙂. See you next Sunday 👍

    One thing D-D have omitted in the instructions but the reps recommend is that you seal all cut ends of the frame pieces with black nail varnish. This is help reduce the possibility of tank water getting under the plastic coating on the frame and making it peel.

    Hi Jay been watching your videos , i would recommend you to change the mesh to a transparent one , the black mesh may lower your PAR.

      @@jaysrealreefuk I you are lucky you can borrow a PAR meter so you dont need to make the expense, if you cant borrow that meter, just change it to a transparent mesh after puting corals so you know you are getting the potential of your lights thats it. Take care and be patience 👍🏼

    Was a toss up between the DD lid and the Red Sea version. The Red Sea version just seemed cheap and wasn’t sure I could get the DD jump guard here in the states but I found it and it’s coming Monday! Gives your tank a nice finished look! 👍🏼

    Good choice on the DD jump guard Jay, nice neat finish and will keep the fish safe. I love Nathan's channel too, the only reason I got into the hobby was from watching his channel. If you come up to York, you need to go and check Ocean Corals and reptiles out. They have an amazing display tank in the shop.

      I will certainly take a visit to Ocean Corals and Reptiles after this lockdown. It would be great to visit and add it to the channel. Thank you for the recommendation. 👍
