Where can you get the clear 1/4" mesh for aquarium top?

Thanks. Ill go check our Homer De-pot tomorrow. Im not holding my breath though. For some reason they only stock stuff thats obscure and not needed.

I have tried Home depot, Rona, Co-op and Canadian tire and have never found the clear mesh. All they had was the green or black variety.

Bulk Reef Supply now carries the 1/2" and 1/4" clear mesh in 6.5' x 2.5' pre-cut pieces. Sadly they've been sold out for quite some time now as I've been wanting to build a mesh lid as well.

I have the darker colored actually...and it is sooo fine that it really does not affect the light passing through...I think it is 1/2" squares.

Im a little worried about 1/2" squares as the reason for the netting is a firefish is on my list of wants and there pretty tiny. Might just go right through one of them.

Yes, you're right, firefish would get through them, however you could layer it to create smaller squares. It is not "fishproof". Sometimes even the larger fish find a way through however it has stopped many jumpers in my tank. Better than nothing!

Found this at Canadian Tire or TSC here in London. 1/4" squares and grey in colour. No problems with blocking of light on this tank, 20 long with 4 T5's on an icecap 660 or on my 120 with 500w of MH.
