FS: 1/4" Square Clear Polypropylene Mesh for Screen Tops. Reasonable price.

acroholic · 10-17-2009, 11:21 PM

Guys,
Many of you with open top tanks have had the issue of fish jumping out.
I have posted a DIY based on my construction of mesh tops for my tanks with top trim and my rimless aquarium.

My R2R DIY: Light Friendly Clear Mesh Screen Cover for Open Top Tanks-Standard/Rimless-w/Pictures

Here is a picture of the mesh on a screen I made for my 60 gallon reef and my 100 gallon rimless reef:

I bought a large quantity of the 1/4" clear polypropylene mesh to make my tops, and I have been selling lots of this mesh to my local reef club members at a very reasonable price, much less expensive than any other source I have seen.

I want to offer my fellow Forum Members the same opportunity.

Anyone that wants some of this mesh to make a screen cover, or who has one and wants to switch out to the 1/4" mesh, just needs to send me the opening size in inches. I will cut out your mesh with an extra 2 inches per side to allow for cutting wastage. I'll charge 85 cents a square foot and shipping (prepaid Priority Mail-$5). I'll ship quickly as well. You will not have to wait for your product.

Everyone pays the same reasonable price. No one should have to pay a premium just to buy a smaller quantity of this great mesh. Problem is, unless you are prepared to buy 3000 square feet of the stuff, your choices have been very limited, until now.

Email is best for questions about the mesh, my screen DIY, or to inquire about sizing for your tank. My email: grim1214@bellsouth.net. I will check this thread and PMs daily, but email is the fastest way for a response.

Thanks everyone.
Dave

sounds like a GREAT idea and opportunity!

For anyone looking for this material this is a MUCH better price than what I was quoted just recently. Like 1/3 what I was quoted somewhere else. Get it while you can
