What screen or mesh can I use

[L8 2 RISE]

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?

Eggcrate, gutter guard, and screen door material are all available at HD or Lowes. You have to search a bit more to find bird netting.

I've used egg crate successfully when separating fish into "holding pens" in the past.

screen door material is what I used to clean my sand and I've seen alot of egg crate frag racks

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.

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.
