Screened Tank covers

[Orchids]

I cannot find a fitted tank cover for my 4' x 2' tank. It is a mixed reef and I want to get a Snowflake moray eel. The biggest I can find is a 18" x 48 "

Where can I get one?

Thanks

Egg crate?????

I use egg crate too. I wish I could find it in black, though.

Make one out of window screen and frame. You can get everything you need from Lowes or Home Depot.

I'll try the screen approach since I cannot find the egg crate. White would be good for me as it will be hidden behind a wall.

Rather than window screen, use some fishnet mesh, like from a minnow seine, or a cast net. It won't block nearly as much light.

fishnet met is good also if you can't find that get some pond netting or bird netting (at HD or Lowes)... slimer threads = more light through.

You WILL find egg crate at Lowes, Home Depot and Menards. At lowes don't look in the lighting section because it is not there. Look back where you find ceiling tiles and you will see the egg crate. I forget where to find it at the other two places but I would guess that they would be in the same section.

Thanks for the location. I'll check today.
