    Should go right in with a spline roller. That is if you have the correct diameter spline.

    Just because not to get it to tight when rolling in the spline as it'll warp the frame.

    I am looking to do this for my tank also, do you have a good site that explains how to do this? I am not sure how to build the frame or what materials to use.

    I imagine there is a video on BRS. They sell all the stuff to make it. I usually just by their screen though. Frame, corner pieces, and spline are all available at Lowes or similar store.
    I've made a couple, and I would be willing to lend a hand to anyone in the area.

    I bought everything at home Depot for mine, even the screen, think they called it bird netting. Only thing, the netting had kinda bigger squares, 1/2 inch, but it doesn't block as much light as the brs stuff. I was surprised at the par difference between with and without a brs kit.
