LF: Clear Mesh Netting
 

Looking to put a mesh top with maybe 1/4" opening. Couldn't find anything similar at Rona, Home Depot, or CT.
My location is Surrey, BC not Calgary, AB btw.

The Western Group has or had it. They are in coqoutlam ask them for polyurethane screen

Thanks. Will give that a try.

Does any know if they have that also in Calgary the hard white stuff

Could always try black bridal tulle. Like it a lot more than when I had 1/4" clear mesh.

Ya but the hard plastic ones make a good lid as well

Reefsupplies.ca has the clear mesh

I use the egg crate and cut to shape. This acts as my lid as well.

That's a good idea do your gobys or fire fish go through it?

Haven't had any fish go through the top (fire fish, gobies, wrasse et al'). :x-mas:

Hmm that's an alternative... How much light does it block though I wonder.

How big do you need the mesh lid to be?

I did a DIY lately but instead of plastic mesh, I ended up using the fabric mesh that they made laundry bags out of.

If you in Surrey pm me , depends how much you need I have some of the IM stuff and some 1/8 of the brs one (was planning to use it but I'm happy with what I got right now), some of the other stuff mention above can affect you par tho.

You're in Calgary though. :(

Nice. Sent you a PM.

Oh sorry, I think you misunderstood. I don't have any for sale and was just sharing my experiences with my DIY.

I was saying that you could probably go to Walmart and pick up a laundry bag and cut out the mesh.

The bag itself is probably like 5 bucks but if your lid footprint is fairly small, it should give you enough material to work with.

It seems kind of ghetto to be using a laundry bag but it seems to work well enough for me thus far :)

Hahaha thanks for clarifying.
I did indeed think about using the laundry bag from dollar store actually, then started wondering about the light penetration. In any case, I was able to find a proper one this time, close to home.

Do you think the egg crate would affect par ratting?

And I have a bunch of jumpers lol I have heard them hit the lid now lol

I don't think it changes the par enough to alter corals. That being said it will be less then an open top with the light penetrating the water surface.
