Anyone know if Home Depot carries this stuff in Black?

 

[reefrunner69]

m sure they do But why not just call and ask, ask for the lighting dept and ask if they sell eggcrate lighting diffuser in black?

Black Eggcrate

Black would look nice, but don't you think that white would reflect more light??

 

[dralarms]

Why not chrome.

 

[nahla]

Chrome

Oh yea, chrome would be sweet!

They do have a chrome or silver color there, I saw it.

Cool. Glad I didn't buy mine yet.

I'm glad this thread happened Road trip to home depot this weekend!!! ok its only 10 minutes away, but anything that has to do with my tank makes me feel giddy, hahaha

 

[reefrunner69]

be careful with crome, it is most likely painted and the paint may not be to safe.

I was also thinking that chrome would also reflect light back out of the tank and may be a bit "blinding" to viewers depending on the light source.

 

[intensity68]

well as far as blinding goes i could tell people to just go sit down on the couch and enjoy Anyway, Reef made a good point about it being painted on, i dont see how it could be otherwise if its plastic. Well, at least it will be functional.

 

[nahla]

chrome

yes, I did think about the chrome color chipping off into the tank, or having the salt eat away at it....but it would be a good reflector...

I am going to look at what is available, not sure what I am going to do yet, but I like this idea alot.

 

[dralarms]

Yea, I may even see about the metal ones. Don't know about any problems that would cause.

 

[reefrunner69]

Rust..........

 

[dralarms]

Always raining on my parade. Hadn't thought about that. Thanks

One minor detail I left out..Its also $20 more then the white costs..

I just put the eggcrate on my freshwater tank today. Seems to work pretty well. I had new glass tops so the light got through good but this will keep me from having to clean them really good every week. Now the only thing keeping my tank from being brighter is all the rock stacked up to the top.
