DIY divider

Post by kizno1 on Fri Aug 27, 2010 8:44 pm

I know you can use the cross stitching stuff to make dividers but is there anything with smaller holes that you can use? i need something with tiny holes so the BN fry wont get through and i need to be able to get a bit that 2'x2'.

What about ultra-fine mesh netting? Kinda like fabric but you can mount it on a frame that fits the tank to keep it tight...

Hmm. Well there are some sheer scarfs, like the kind old women wear, they feel silky but still breathe? That might work.

You can always try the hardware store or possibly a hobby store for plastic mesh.

Nylon mesh used for screen printing might work - it's waterproof and very finely woven, no fry would get through that, you could staple or stitch it onto a frame.
