I found my netting in the outside section at Home Depot, near the chicken wire fencing.

In the windows and doors section of a hardware store. It is window screening.

Just make sure that you buy the plastic stuff and not the metal. The metal will rust. Also make sure that the one you do get isnt treated with any mildewcides or the like. Those chemicals are bad news for our tanks.

the metal doesn't rust, because it isn't iron. It's aluminum.

the clear netting, available in the link to BRS above, is FAR better than the green or black stuff that I found locally at home depot and lowe's. The clear stuff allows a lot more light through, which makes my corals happy.

i went to home depot but couldnt find any :/ any one know where esle to go?

 

[bjohanson1234]

They have it at Home Depot, did you ask someone there?
Try Menards or Ace or a mom and pop hardware store.

 

[Bifferwine]

Try Lowe's.

 

[Mandarin66]

sure in what title section and i need the title section of home depot too i cant find the shit-ty fence section whoever say it -_>

 

[BL1]

It'll be in the section with the doors and millwork. But, you won't find the clear screens. They only have black and grey with the tiny screening. They don't have the kind that BRS sells.

 

[Mandarin66]

i will take the black if they look good to me.....

 

[BL1]

The only problem with that is, the black small screens will cut down on the amount of light getting into your tank.

i know :/
