britfish Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Anyone know where you can buy black eggcrate? I've called almost all the plastics companies and lighting distributors in the Yellow Pages and no one carries it! I did find one place modernplastics.com but they have a $100 minimum order! I'm looking for a 2' x 4' sheet to cut to fit the top of my tank to keep the fish in and the cats out! White is easy to get (Home Depot) but doesn't look right on a black trimmed tank. Thanks!

Headless_donkey Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 You can paint it with Krylon fusion spray paint for plastics. It is reef safe. You might have to touch it up every once in a while, but it won't take much paint to cover egg crate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headless_donkey Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I was just at autozone and they have Krylon fusion. Home depot didn't or at least I couldn't find, but I had a pitbull that was ready to go home with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britfish Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 After many more phone calls I have found a source for Black Eggcrate in Dallas!!! Minimum order from the distributor is 5 pieces 2' x 4'. Total cost including shipping works out to $15.00 each piece. I need 2 pieces. If anyone is interested in buying the other 3 pieces I'll place an order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britfish Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 That's me! I bought 5 pieces (min order qty) and I'm selling 3. I didn't get any interest on ARC so I put them on Craigs List. I cut it to fit my 72G Bow Front and it looks awesome! http://austin.craigslist.org/for/318160017.html This person is selling some locally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
