egg crate

Anyone know a local supplier for BLACK egg crate?

Can find it easy enough online would like to find it here though.

Black would look a ton better than white.

I dont know o any but you could buy white at Home depot and then use Krylon Fusion paint to color it up......You have to let it cure about 2-3 weeks before it goes in the tank though.....someone else could probably confirm that timeframe better????

I hear Starship sells it in chrome illusion... (you'd probably have to remove the tassels though.... )

:whistling:

Does it exist in black? I know the chrome stuff comes off, so that's probably not a good idea. Since it's a lighting diffuser by design, I'd imagine you'd have to find another item such as rigid landscape mesh or something similar. A black lighting diffuser wouldn't exactly be a marketable product.

But if you've seen it, I'd be interested.

http://www.modernplastics.com/">Modern Plastics</a> has it for $19.32 per panel with a $100 minimum purchase. Possible Group Buy? (They also sell acrylic.)

Here's the hit I first opened when I did the eggcrate search and landed at Simple Reefkeeping... need to look this site over when I have more time:

Huh. Never would have figured someone would actually want a light absorbing color for a lighting diffuser. We could probably order a box. I'd snag 1 or 2.

I am still hoping someone finds clear.
