Tank Cover/Lids

Tajjo · 04/10/2008, 05:00 PM

I seen on TOTM a cover Joseph used for his lids, which is a great idea id like to use on my tank to prevent some wrasses and blue spotted jaw fish jumping to theirs deaths. Anyway i was wondering what kind of mesh or .25 spacing net did he use. What have some of you guys used or do you use?
Thanks

not sure but when you find out let me know. Can you pick it up at Home Depot? If so in what section?

Use the bird/insect screen from the hardware store. Home Depot and Lowes carries it. They have different sizes

The stuff at home depot is plastic chicken wire. Not the same stuff, black, and has larger opening. I think the stuff he used comes from a craft store such as Michaels, not sure though. Awesome idea.

I assume they hide it in the garden section. Good to know it is at HD, must pay more attention as I thought I knew that store up and down..

Yes, I think they have it in 2 different places. In the store by me it is outside in the garden section. They have it in 3 different grid sizes
