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.

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.
