Plastic "netting" for over flow??

[Mark75]

I saw a picture on here a few days ago were some one had made a guard out of some plastic mesh. The screen or mesh was folded and stuck down in the overflow to keep small fishes from getting sucked up. What is this material called and were can I get some? Thanks

Try black plastic gutter screen.

At Lowes or HD.

Thanks!! I thought that is what they said it was but it seems to me gutter guard would be to thick. I was afraid it would not fold easy. My over flow box is square.

Is this what you are talking about?

If so then you can buy it here. It is somewhat rigid if you want it to form a square but you can fold it to kink it so that it can be a square or you can just cut out three pieces.

I ordered mine through FinsDepot and it was called 1/4" diamond netting. I paid $5 for a linear foot (48"). HTH

Home Depot. Plastic gutter mesh.

For a screen with MUCH smaller holes, go to any craft store. There is a plastic matt used for needlepoint or something with very tiny holes. 1/4 inch mesh would let my Trimma and Eviota gobies right through.
