lowes or home depot have a plastic grate that you cab have cute to size while you are there. You could easily attach magnets to it as well. It will keep it light weight as well. ------------- 75g - In the process of building |

There's nothing you can do to permanently protect metal emerged constantly in saltwater. Plastic eggcrate from the hardware store is cheap and easy to work with. ------------- www.reefdup.com Diving since 2009, reefkeeping since 2007, & fishkeeping since 1987 200g, 75g, & 15g Systems PADI Advanced Open Water |

The black eggcrate is better looking and much sturdier. But where can you get it besides bulk reef supply? ------------- 105 rimless |
