Polypropylene Mesh for lid local?

[reefez85032]

Suggestions? I've checked Lowes, Home Depot and Grainger with no luck. I got a purple firefish that's been in a friend's QT for two weeks, just want to be sure it won't end up on the floor. I don't want to order the BRS kit because I already have everything to make the frame, just missing the screen.

You can buy just the netting from them. Supposedly tough to find.

Hoping to find it local for instant gratification if at all possible. I don't have anything else to order right now so i'd be stuck with S&H too. May have to go that route though if I can't find it soon.

I found black bird netting at Home Depot when I made my screens. I think it was like $15 for a pretty large roll of it. They're still in one piece after a year under halides.

It was in the gardening section

Were the squares small enough to hold in small jumpers?

There was a group buy for this stuff a while ago, some of the lfs got in on it don't remember which ones, but give them a call and see if they have any.

I just bought some from BRS, and the shipping was like $5, and it got here in three days, if you prefer the clear. How much do you need?

Roy "Weyrman" is the one who got the big roll of it (1/4" clear) locally; PM him.

 

[reefez85032]

PM's sent and fingers crossed

PM replied

Yes I still have a bit.

1/4" clear mesh screen, UV protected.

Home Depot and Lowes only have black 1/2" bird netting.

Reef culture had some too

Thanks for all the generous offers! Someone close by was able to provide me with more than enough.
