Where can you get the clear 1/4" mesh for aquarium top?

Yes, you're right, firefish would get through them, however you could layer it to create smaller squares. It is not "fishproof". Sometimes even the larger fish find a way through however it has stopped many jumpers in my tank. Better than nothing!

Found this at Canadian Tire or TSC here in London. 1/4" squares and grey in colour. No problems with blocking of light on this tank, 20 long with 4 T5's on an icecap 660 or on my 120 with 500w of MH.

It's been about 4 years since I bought the mesh and I'm 99% sure it was Canadian Tire in the garden section.

you can also use white wedding vail in those window screens kits also and the white doesn't effect light passing through
