making a screen for top of tank... where do I find clear netting/casting net?

[Candi]

I want to make a screen for the 70g I'm getting this weekend, I know I could use eggcrate but want something with smaller openings that is less obtrusive to look at as well. I found this on RC http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1127093&highlight=cast+net I checked walmart and couldn't find a clear casting net, where in the area (middletown) can I get one?

Thanks!

Home Depot and Lowes sell, in gardening section, plastic deer netting http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=156309-000023132-10009&lpage=none

This mesh openings are ~1/2" . If you want smaller (1/8-1/4") go to Walmart's sewing section and look for that mesh used in veils.

I would watch using plastic netting,they contain petroleum byproducts that with the evaporation from the could allow this to drop into your system.
Regular fibreglass window screen will work,or you can buy stainless mesh that won't corrode.
