Anyone have black eggcrate?

Or, is there somewhere local to find this?

Thanks

No where local that I know of but most people just get white egg create from Lowes and paint it black with krylon black spray paint.

That stuff peels off in the aquarium eventually... :/

That is interesting. I haven't seen it peel yet, do you know about how long it takes to degrade? Also what type of plastic was it painted on?

 

[Newreeflady]

Doesn't peel, chips. I had painted some pvc piping many moons ago for another system. Don't remember how long it took to chip, but once it started it really looked like crap. I buy black pvc now for use in the system. In saltwater under a halide lamp you really can't expect any paint to last indefinitely, imo.

Try Krylon Fusion Paint. It is for plastic. Walmart has it.

Yes, I thought that was clear. I used Krylon Fusion, of course.

I am looking for black eggcrate. It seems it is not avail locally so I will order it online. Thank you, though.
