Something worth mentioning is that if you don't regularly rinse the salt creep off the mesh it tends to eat it. I think halides play a role in the deterioration as well. I suspect average life is a year or two.

I was thinking about that with the MH, they will heat it up pretty good

The weird thing is they don't usually get brittle under the halide, it seems to be around the edges, about an inch in from the frame.

I find when fish jump out, they tend to get brittle around the edges too. I guess replace as necessary Mesh, not fish lol

Hey Guys. Sorry I was away from Canreef and things for a while. Been dealing with getting my divorce finally done (lots of prep and then 6 days in court :-/ Not fun) and a few other things.

I do still have a bunch of mesh so if anyone is still looking let me know.

It all turned out ok but wasn't fun at the time.

Just heading out for the evening. I'll figure that out and PM you in the morning.

Replied to all PMs etc. Also, just an update that my bank now supports Interac money transfers so that's a payment option too.
