+BobcatReefer Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Necessity is the mother of invention. I didn't invent the acclimation box, but I needed one, because I have a fish that needs to be segregated until I can sell him, and I'm not interested in taking 50% (or less) on trade in. By the way: Fish for Sale! Was not interested in spending the money or waiting for mail order, so looked at what I had, and decided I could do something w/ some light diffuser and screen netting, but didn't have enough diffuser grate to make the whole thing out of it, and didn't really want to either - seemed like it would be super bulky. Had decided I would bite the bullet and drive 30min to the Slaughter/35 Home Depot to buy a 1/4" fiberglass rod to cut into pieces as my lengthwise framing. Stopped by the Ace Hardware just to see if there was anything better 10min from my house and found something I didn't expect: plastic clothes hangers. 8 for under $2 or so. Picked up a fresh 100pack of zip ties, and good to go. Turned out pretty darn good! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 👍 For smaller boxes and fish traps I've found the plastic canvas or vinyl weave found at craft stores for yarn embroidery projects and small tie wraps works good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
