yikes, the wrasse made it through the eggcrate Kathy?
what a PITA.
at 1/4 I would be worried the light is going to be cut down,
but what else can you do 
now I'm wondering if the 3/4" mesh I planned on will be too
large. | |  | |  | |
Yes Jonathan, must have gone through at just the right angle, plus he's still on the smallish side.
Interesting site Psycho. I got excited about one of the channels on there until I saw it was a $1000 min order for them...argh!...will have to explore this from other manufacturers.
I also like your idea of using a replacement frame as a basis for attaching the material. They certainly are inexpensive enough..and a perfect fit!
I just got back from shopping and did manage to find the screen frames at Ace Hardware, though they do not sell the additional 'L' clips needed to attach the frames together (pkg comes with 4 clips and 4-48" lenghts of aluminum framing). I bought some corner braces to use for the missing ones.
I'm not wild either about the aluminum frames but I can't babysit the fish this week (have to go to work!) and would like to still have that Wrasse and Gramma come Friday. If this works, you'll see pics up here later tonight. My plan is 2 individual covers that will sit within the frame, each having a flip up door for feeding. Wish me luck!
