Clear eggcrate

[Reefdiver77]

Has anyone seen any clear eggcrate and if so, where? TIA

Considering what it is used for I can't imagine that it would come in clear.

I have seen it in silver. I know it is used as a light grid. Just thought some clear frag racks would look nice in my new coral display tank for the swap. Now to find a totally clear heater and powerhead ~(:-))-

I've seen it in opaque colors but as it is used for eliminating glare,
rendering more precise light distribution ,
providing better contrast and image definition ,
enhancing color rendition of merchandised products ,
shielding lamps from direct view ,and
reducing luminaire surface brightness for maximum visual comfort .
It seems like clear would run counter to those goals.
It'll be pink in no time so it doesn't matter much what color it starts out.

Wow Dave, you are a wealth of knowledge!! Mine will not be turning pink as I will only be using it for frag swaps and it will be in storage the rest of the time.

Vicki have you seen the mag racks the guy over on NR has? I think his are in black with the magnets as well.
Might be easier then buying a whole sheet of this stuff.

Vicki, I have a little bit of extra clear acrylic that I could use to build a couple of shelves for you. If you think that would work for you, just let me know what size you want them.

Thanks Ryan, but I went ahead and bought some white eggcrate.
