Red Sea Tank Net Screen Universal Cut Out Kit
Neat, fray-free openings for cables and equipment through any Red Sea net screen. The Red Sea Tank Net Screen Universal Cut-Out Kit (R42086) is the trim kit that lets you cut a clean, finished opening in a Red Sea Tank Net Screen wherever a light arm, return pipe, filter intake or cable needs to pass through the mesh. It works on any Red Sea net screen size, on new installs and existing screens alike.
Key features
- Finished edges — the corner and profile pieces bind the cut mesh edge so it can't fray or unravel with handling.
- Three-piece trim set — external corner, internal corner and cut-out profile, enough to frame one custom opening of your own size and shape.
- Fits any Tank Net Screen size — works across Red Sea's full 24"–72" net screen range, not tied to one model.
- Keeps the mesh under tension — a trimmed opening holds its shape instead of sagging or pulling at the surrounding netting.

Will it fit my tank?
This is a universal kit, not sized to one screen — it fits the cut-out you make yourself, so it works on any Red Sea Tank Net Screen: 24" x 24" (R42080), 36" x 24" (R42081), 48" x 31" (R42082), 60" x 31" (R42083) and 72" x 31" (R42084). These screens are sized to Red Sea's REEFER and MAX ranges and mount in-rim or on-rim, so check which screen size matches your tank before ordering — this kit adds a cut-out to a screen you already own or are ordering alongside it.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suited to anyone running lighting arms, return plumbing, wavemaker cables or dosing lines over an open-top tank fitted with a Red Sea net screen, where the standard screen has no pre-cut opening in the right place. Not a replacement net screen in its own right — it's a trim accessory for modifying one you already have.
Goes well with
Pairs with any size of Red Sea Tank Net Screen, and with the equipment actually passing through the cut-out — ReefLED mounting arms, ReefWave pump cables and return or drain plumbing are the most common reasons to reach for it.
Warranty and delivery
Covered by Red Sea's standard manufacturer warranty against defects, in addition to your consumer guarantee rights under Australian Consumer Law. A small, light accessory — standard parcel delivery.
Common questions
Do I need one kit per opening?
Yes — each kit trims one custom opening. If your setup needs pass-throughs in more than one spot, order a kit for each.
Will it work on an older Tank Net Screen?
It's designed as a universal trim for the current Red Sea Tank Net Screen range across all five sizes, so it fits any screen from that range regardless of when it was purchased.
Can I use it to widen an existing factory cut-out?
It's designed for cutting a new opening in solid mesh. Extending an existing factory cut-out isn't its intended use — check with us before attempting it if that's what you need.
