Where can I buy egg crate to use as a divider in my refugium? I tried Lowes but they don't sell it. Anyone know of somewhere I can pick some up?

Do you mean eggcrate as in lighting diffuser? little half inch squares? We did buy ours at Lowes, but I think they call it lighting diffuser.

plastic stuff

I'm talking about the hard white plastic stuff with small square holes. Is that what you are referring to as lighting diffuser?

Yes, white grid material, 1/2" squares, like a sheet of graph paper... However, we did get ours at the Lowe's in Bryan. But, I can't imagine other Lowe's not having it.

it will be in the lighting section used quite often in commercial lighting. If you ever use it over your tank to keep fish in then make sure you have the taper in the grid with the point at the top and the wider end at the bottom.

Yes, over time the silver is very likely to flake off. Our office building is a prime example of this.

Has anyone been able to get hold of some BLACK eggcrate? :eek: I've seen it mentioned on various BBs, but have never seen any for sale. I think it would make cool coral and live rock racks and such.

thanks

Thanks all,

I found the eggcrate in the lighting dept. at Lowes. They also had the silver eggcrate, although I agree it would be risky to use.
