WTB Black egg crate

Ltspd · 02-20-2003, 05:03 AM

I need to buy some small pc's of black egg crate to use as the overflow screens on my overflow. I would need some pc's about 2" tall x a couple feet long.

Paul, have you thought about using gutter screen? It is black plastic or flex pvc and comes in a 50ft roll for about $8 at the home centers. I have seen many folks use it for the same purpose, including me. HTH, Bill.

No, I never thought about something like that. That could work pretty well, I would be able to "wrap" it over the top also to keep the jumpers out of the box.

Good suggetion, I might look into that more.

Is it safe?

Is it safe? Is it secret?...Oh no, my "Lord of the Rings" geekdom slips through. I don't know for sure, I suppose like most plastics that don't quickly fail in our tanks that this on is safe. I've used it for about 2.5 yrs as well as some others I know, we shared a roll. Bill.
