Looks like the screen was put on to tight that pulls it in alittle bit.

You may be right. The ends are absolutely perfect and have plenty of overlap.

Deep Blue 57 you mean? If so, here's a link: http://artfullyacrylic.3dcartstores.com/Deep-Blue-Edge-Rimless-57-ClearView-Lid_p_1895.html
Hi Brian, there is a little bow to your lid. The bigger the lid and the more central cutouts (overflow/feed door), the more it wants to bow when screening. Lexan/Polycarbonate is more flexible than acrylic but this is part of where it gets its extreme impact resistance and ability to not warp on the tank. Our standard is to keep this bow under 1/8" per side. There is a bit of a trade off as we don't want the screen too loose either. If your lid is pulled in more than this we are happy to rescreen it for you. We would cover the shipping costs. Send us an email if you would like to look into this. Note however, the gap seen at the middle is not all from the lid. Rimless tanks bow too so part of that gap you are seeing is from the tank itself. To check your lid specifically you would need to take it off the tank and set it on a level flat surface and look at the gap between tabs.
We don't have one for the 29 biocube yet. We've done several for the JBJ 28 Biocube however. Due to the curve on the tank front coupled with rounded corners we require a cardboard template for the first lid. If you can make us one of these we can make you a lid =). Here's a link for the one we did for the 28 biocube: http://artfullyacrylic.3dcartstores.com/JBJ-Nano-Cube-28-ClearView-Lid_p_1938.html
We look forward to seeing them =). Pics look best when you turn your white channel up and the blue channel down a bit =).

Never got an email staying if it was shipped or not. Hopefully it did so we get it early in the week.
Received my lid yesterday. Packaging was awesome.
Its gorgeous.....
The corners look great....
The fit isn't as tight as I had hoped, There is a bow toward the center, the corners fit well and match the dimensions perfectly, in the front but overall more of a gap around the edges than I had hoped.
Here is the gap in the back around the overflow and along the back wall its about the same....
All in all this is a game changer for the overall look of my tank. I absolutely love this lid and will have it on my new tank I'll be setting up in a few months. The workmanship is top notch and it looks sleek and clean. Such a huge upgrade over the old window screen kit, I mean, MAJOR upgrade. Worth every cent!!!
I am getting use to how best to lift the lid when I feed and need to do something quick in the tank where I am not removing the entire lid. Maybe I should have gotten the feeding add on thingy but I wanted a nice clean look. Lifting the front works well, lifting the sides is a bit more problematic as the fit isn't real tight and the corner by the overflow wants to fall into the tank. It is just a learning curve to figure it out.
