Clint sells it, but it is WAYYYYY overpriced if you ask me.

Greg,

Our electrician got it for me but they have to be ordered by the box. It's been a few months but the box had 15 - 4x2 sheets and I think it was about $14 per sheet. PM me if interested.

OOoo I am interested. Maybe we can get some people together to get a box because I think most people don't need a whole box of it.

Yeah I heard that the only reason it's so expensive is that shipping is expensive. I was hoping that someone knew of someplace that had it local

Have you tried White Cap Construction Supplies, they have a big selection, or Granger?

I'm curious where you would the black where you couldn't use the white. I use two pieces to cover the top of my tank and it has saved "many" fish from flying out (although I was surprised when one Midas Blenny did make it through the holes).

Thanks!
Irene

For frag racks. It makes the tank look nicer. But IMO you are better off with white for grow-out since you'd get at least some reflected light.

Greg... I think I got mine last time through the LFS wholesaler? Not near as cheap as white from HD but really no big deal even if 4 x's the money.

Have you checked out the mesh-net cover. There's a guy named "jimsflies" something something that sells it. It's a very nice material. Won't block as much light as the eggcrates and it comes in 1/4" opening which will keep your smallest fishes in the tank.

I've received several PMs wanting to buy a sheet or two. Please note that I am NOT selling any eggcrate. I'm merely facilitating the purchase if Greg or anyone is interested in buying a FULL box. Sorry if I confused anyone with my post.

gcarroll · #16 08/10/2007, 12:38 PM

sarwa- how long would it take to get it?

ivyvine1 · #17 08/10/2007, 01:20 PM

Thanks Steve for the explanation above ....... and

Thanks Scissorhand for that tip ..... I will definitely look into it!

I learn something new every time I log on (well, almost).
