lurch Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I'm getting a middas blenny today so I was planning on getting a screen terrarium cover. What does everyone think of using these. What would you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmike Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Bulk reef supply sells a clear netting that doesn't block any light. You can get the window screen frame kit at home depot or lowes and make your own frame for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrokate Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 screen terrarium cover will rust with even a few drops of freshwater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonas Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Kate is right. Rust will kill your tank. Use screen door screen or window screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurch Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 Oh that would suck thanks for the advice off to home depot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurch Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Ended up getting the standard egg crate light diffuser. I was worried it would cut to much light but looks ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Egg crate actually blocks a surprising amount of light. Here is what I used. I believe it is the same stuff madmike is referring to only black (it actually is less visible against the water). 3/8" mesh bird netting (you need 1/2" or less and you can find in the garden center), and standard screen frame that you can cut to size from HD.

madmike Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 ^^^ yes that is what I use, in clear. Does a much better job at keeping fish in and allowing light to penetrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurch Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 That does look nice I should head back to HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
