Black eggcrate in Calgary?

[Delphinus]

Thanks Greg - I do have some white though. I was hoping to go black because I got some smoked glass for the overflow and I think it would look really sharp with black. This is for (gasp! scandal!) my FW tank..

Mike, I'll check into the cost tomorrow and post back. I have a bad feeling it may not be cheap though, usually I've heard it goes for $20-30 a sheet which is like 10 times more expensive than the usual white. A "sheet" is 24"x48" (I think).

.. hmmm not having the most luck on this one. I asked Industrial Paints & Plastics to look up the caselot price for me and they'll get back to me. In the meantime I've tried Winroc and Kenroc, unfortunately no go on those. Kenroc directed me to their supplier, Convex Light Control, who said they can get it, but wouldn't sell to me because they're only a wholesale distributor and I'm a nobody , but they directed me to Litemore, Commercial Lighting and/or BriteLite. I'm waiting for word back from Litemore, I called them first. I might try Commercial Lighting Products as well since I have dealt with them (as well as Litemore) in the past.

Maybe white won't be so bad ... sheesh what a pain. I didn't realize black eggcrate would be THAT obscure of an item to request...

Hmm OK $15 each at Litemore, and it looks like they won't make me buy the whole caselot (which would be 15 of them).

In case anyone else is interested in black eggcrate @ $15 a sheet, Litemore's # is 252-4000 and the fellow I talked to is named Martin.

If you haven't ordered already I might have that much leftover. I'll look for you tonight and let you know.

Awww... man where were you 4 hours ago? I already ordered them.
I don't know if I can cancel it anymore..

thanks anyhow!

I found it if you can cancel, just enough for what you want to do. Send me a PM if you want it.
