anyone know where to get plastic mesh

[rgsa8892]

i want to make screen type covers for my tank but need plastic mesh that the fish can't jump through but won't restrict the light coming in.I'm thinking about 3/8" squares and thin enough to be put in a screen frame

there are a few people here that might have extra. I have the black deer fence from lowes thats 3/8 if you need any of that

 

[rgsa8892]

that's exactly what i need.You say they have it at lowes

I got mine at lowes in cranberry outside in the garden supplies next to the chainlink fence. There are a few different options, one being deer net which is bigger holes, this one i dont recall what was called. I want to say though the roll was 10-15$ for a pretty good size.

If you are by chance going to the meeting tonight i can bring some depending on how much you need, i think i have a quarter roll left

What about chrome covered drop ceiling vents? They are thicker but the chrome might reflect the lost light enough to not notice. ?????

Just a thought.

My personal experience with the chrome the lost light is pretty significant. not as much however as the normal white defuser.

 

[rgsa8892]

part of my tank is in the wall so i can't afford to lose anymore light

this is what i want to cover

[rgsa8892]

hey AHDOnline how do you attach full size pictures like the one in this thread

I usually upload them to my R/C picture gallery, and use the link from it.

Note to members: Don't mess with rgsa8892. He might have guns.

ok i figured out how to upload to r/c but how do i change the size? when i click on one in the album it opens 4 times larger than my pc screen

What size is the photo before uploading? I've noticed R/C makes mine somewhat larger as well. I think I edit mine down to under 300pixels before uploading.
