L8 2 RISE May 20, 2010 Share May 20, 2010 What mesh or screen can I use in a reef tank? I'd like to get my cuttlefish into a larger tank but need to screen some parts off. I've seen some of you with screen type things in the water. What can I use and where can I get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to search a bit more to find bird netting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origami May 21, 2010 Share May 21, 2010 I've used egg crate successfully when separating fish into "holding pens" in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveS May 21, 2010 Share May 21, 2010 Egg crate and then if the critters can fit through it, put window screen or bridal veil over the egg crate. The egg crate is good for providing support/structure to the screen or veil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L8 2 RISE May 21, 2010 Author Share May 21, 2010 Thanks for all of the suggestions. The cuttlefish can fit right through the eggcrate so that wouldn't work unfortunately.

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for! Is window screen plastic? I thought it was metal wire, or maybe that's just the old screens.
