Fish Jumping
 

I had a Chromis recently jump from my tank and I am looking at building a screen top for it. Does anyone know where a guy can find some clear 1/4" mesh around Edmonton (i've heard polypropylene mesh works well), or if anyone has any other ideas that would be great too. I would like to get something in place so I don't lose another fish.
Thanks,
Steve

brs sells kits for up to 6' tanks. plastic mesh.

Is there a Lowes out your way ?

Some locals here have told me about getting the grey poly stuff there ... same as BRS but not clear

It would get you by 'till you get some clear

I got mine at Canadian Tire garden section..

+1 to good old crappy tire

I got mine at Peavey Mart in the chicken fence section. Big roll was $20 or $30.

Another option would be to use egg crate, most hardware stores carry it for fluorescent light fixtures.

Steve,

You can buy the material to build a screen cover from Home Depot

Window screening is a poor choice for aquarium screening because it blocks a lot of light. Even in a FOWLR tank.

I use clear bird netting,nothing local here,except the frame materials.Shared shipping for the netting from BRS with a friend placing an order.Doesn't block light,light and easy to remove.Have lost 100's of dollars before as fish jumped.
