where to get fine mesh?

[H20Sidhe]

My latest problem with raising baby clownfish:
The mesh I have for filtering rotifers is actually too large for rotifers. It is the right size for filtering copepods. Where can I get a finer mesh (about a 3 in. x 3 in. square)?

How fine are we talking? Can you approximate the hole size required?

BrineShrimpDirect offers a set of 4 sieves that range is size from 180 to 900 microns. http://www.brineshrimpdirect.com/c1/c9/Sieve-Combo-Set-p205.html

I put a knee high stocking over the brine net and it worked for me. There is a place to order the smaller micron nets. I'll look for my bookmark for you.

I used a 53 micron mesh that I got from Florida Aqua Farms . My understanding is that you need something smaller than 60 micron. At Florida's site do a search on "Plankton Collector".
