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!

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]

sarwa- how long would it take to get it?

[ivyvine1]

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).
