BRS has black 1/4" screen netting for screen tops.......

and it's really inexpensive. Every other time I've found a supplier of it, it was prohibitively expensive and only available in large lots. This is a 3' x 7' piece and the price is $11.99.

Just replaced the screen in my 3 Octoaquatic tops and the difference in appearance is much improved.

Here's a picture with two of the tops replaced and the one on the left with the regular clear netting. Much more aesthetically pleasing and a lot less reflected light.

And with all three.

Been using black netting in my DIY screens for a couple of years - I much prefer the aesthetic. Stuff I bought was not expensive by the square foot, except that I had to buy a big roll. Assuming BRS did the same, small quantities off said roll would be inexpensive.

Thanks for the clarification. I was remembering what you had said and didn't get it right. I was about to contact you about purchasing some when this showed up on my emails from BRS.

This is a great idea. Might do this with the ClearView lids on my tanks.

I switched it out on one of my ClearView kids this morning. I love that it reflects less.

That's awesome! Might have to replace mine as well!
