clear or white mesh and black eggcrate

Ive never seen these locally. Bulk reef supply is your best bet.

Me neither. Would add that maybe a lighting supply place would have some black eggcrate. Might also check hobby stores for clear mesh - the stuff they use for crafts is usually sold in small sheets, but maybe they sell rolls too, never know.
 
Ok ok I gotta ask, what is mesh and eggcrate for exactly? Yes I'm noob

Mesh to keep the fish in, or people out if your a fish.
I want black eggcrate to make some frag racks to hang on the sides of my display

So, instead of say, a glass top, you opt for mesh. Any particular reason?
 
Sorry, don't mean to clutter your thread with silly questions -)
 
Well partly it allows the air to circulate over the water to help aerate the tank. It also helps keep the temp in the tank from getting to high. The mesh simply keeps the fish from jumping out and you don't have to clean it as often as you do a glass top.
 
If you want the black mesh it's I the lawn and garden departments and is bird netting for say yard ponds and plants. I also found the polypropylene screen on eBay at a much cheaper price than BRS. But I also bought a 100' roll for my local forum. But even only buying what you needed it was much cheaper than BRS.
