Where to buy black eggcrate?

I found several places on the web that sell black eggcrate but I don't need 100 pieces - one is fine, thank you. Anyone know where I can get a single 2' x 4' piece. Thx.

I went crazy finding the black egg crate too. When I finally found it and saw how much light it blocked I threw it out. Just something to think about. Depends on what your keeping.

Seriously? I would have taken it.

It's great for racks and stuff. Less (visible) algae growth on the black.

Have you checked lighting stores?

I actually painted my white eggcrate with krylon paint for plastic in blue.

I am curious about your comment because I am going to use it as a cover to my tank - if your lights are directly above the eggcrate, how could it block that much light? Did you use it as a tank cover? Thx.

A 24x48 @ $21.00 as per their website. I would think the price do not include shipping.

bigyankfan, Even white egg crate blocks some light although most is reflected by the white. The black just absorbs the light. You have to compare for yourself and see which is best for your system. Personally, I now have no cover to maximize light intensity.
