I have some 1/4"x1/4" plastic screening that can fit into a window screen frame. LMK if you want some.

Here are some pics of my cover using this stuff. I have a thin strip of egg crate at the back to accomodate PH wires and my sump return.

That 1/4" plastic screen does look handy. Where did you get it? Thank you. John T

Canadian Tire. It's too bad we didn't discuss it when you were here on Sunday, I could have given you some.
