Black screen framing for mesh lid?

[markl]

I'm about to build my mesh lid today for my 60 cube and wondering if I can get black screen frame any where? If not guess its time to pull out the krypton fusion.

The aluminum screen frame from Home Depot is a very dark brown. Looks almost black. Never seen an issue with it clashing with a black top.

This. Even the corners that are "brown" are pretty dark almost black.

I've made them before in brown just wanted to see if they make it in black. I think in going to paint the one I just made.

Looks good. Where did you get the mesh? I need some for my 24"x24" tank.

Redstang hooked me up! I believe you can get it from bulk reef supply as well.

Thanks Ralph, but I don't sell it anymore.

Pure Reef has the mesh screen.

I was lucky enough to find some old white screens that were bent in my garage. I scrapped the not bent parts and reused the corners and the cord that holds the screen in. For once I didn't have to make a trip to Lowes.
