Black Eggcrate

Anyone know where I can get either Black Eggcrate or a heavier plastic PVC sheets in eggcrate design (holes) ?
 
i was going to order some online, if you dont find it locally maybe we can split some shipping if its expensive.
 
You bet... are you wanting the lighter eggcrate, like the white, or the heavier guage stuff? My preference would be the heavier, but I can live with the other.

Something like this but with larger holes.

I'm trying to find some now that are square holed.... thats getting tough. I KNOW someone must make it, either as shelving or something industrial like assembly line, sink rinsing grates etc.

If its PVC its going to be around 50-130 per sheet....

If its just black egg crate its like 20 per sheet at most....

Wes,

Not having much luck.. the acrylic is easy to find but not in black. Regal Plastics offered to do sheet pvc or acrylic and do the holes. Do you need squares or would 1/2" round holes be fine? What are you looking to do structure wise?

What I am going to do is an in tank frag rack, but its not going to be the entire tank and it will be two levels so I am not married to the square pattern. I would prefer the sheet pvc or even star board because I could easily remove zoanthids and stuff that grow on it, unlike the egg crate that needs to be broken if some grow on it.
 
round would be fine i guess...im wanting to do some rock support with it and make a frag rack or two myself. what kind of price are we talking?

Haven't got that far yet, i'll give them another call in the morning. If you are doing rock support, you'll want the pvc or starboard for sure. How much do you think you'd need?

i want the bottom and back completely covered. 72x24 and 72x29

then i need a 11x33 piece for the frag section

a little scrap wouldnt hurt either

i actually like the idea of the 1/2" round holes better as i can take some acrylic rods and glue them strait in the holes

Ok the bottom I understand.. your going to stack rock on it.. are you going to use rods or something to support it upward?? is the back just for a lining or are you gong to support rock on that as well?

Okay that makes sense then..... then yes the styrene would be too brittle for you.

Ill get a quote on something that size but its not going to be cheap :) Not like the styrene is at $15 a sheet.
