Stainless steel mesh review
The mesh/screen is much heavier than I expected. It can be bent into shape as needed and appears to retain its shape. Even with the heavy shears it took some force to cut it. The 12"x12" sheet was cut into nine (9) 4"x4" squares.
The cut edges were not sharp to the touch. There was no smell of chemical or residue on it and it did not feel sticky or slick. Regardless, I threw them into a pot of water and boiled it briefly anyway.
Attached moss to it using very lightweight fishing line. Had to go over it a few times because of a stray frond here and there. It is intentionally spread thin because fissidens moss grows in a mound pattern.
Into the holding tank and a couple in the planted tank
In the holding tank it will get PPS pro ferts but no CO2. I was thinking about using glut but I also plan on moving my shrimp into this tank while I overhaul the shrimp tank. Ugh. I could always setup DIY CO2 (either yeast or citric acid).
I think I paid around $12 for this. For nine 4"x4" squares, this sounds like a good deal. I only used 6 of the 9 squares. And now the waiting begins.
