Default Black Egg Crate - Lower Mainland

I am finally building my first little dream frag tank and have been searching - unsuccessfully - for black egg crate (can only find white and silver).

Finally found a company in Vancouver who will bring them in no charge. The panels are 2' x 4' and are ~ $35 per panel.

I don't need 2' x 4'. Any thoughts from all of you regarding black egg crate and where we can get it and if this is a good price? They will cut it for us if we want to share.

If you are looking for eggcrate to keep the "jumper" fish in such as Sandsifter gobies and long nose hawkfish I can tell you from experience it doesn't work (regardless of colour, kidding about the colour), I even used gutterguard cross meshing zap strapped to the eggcrate and had to do a double layer.
