Where can I get some black 1/8” small hoes netting to diy a screen cover for my tank?

I am getting the 4 of the Red Sea corners to diy this project since reviews say the Red Sea kit is flimsy and the DD jumpguard comes with a 1/4” netting.

Try bridal tulle. Black or white are good colors you can find it online or at a fabric store.

I used that stuff in white to make a DIY cover and it's worked out great. Got it from Michael's and it's cheap.

I might have to go there in person as I have no clue what they call. I did my first diy cover with the vinyl netting I got from BRS but they don’t carry black.

I just put together a Red Sea kit on my peninsula 650. It was not as bad as I have heard. Maybe I just got lucky putting it together. Idk.
I have one for my 425 and I like it. You could save a little money with DIY but $50 is not bad. I wouldn’t necessarily cal it flimsy but it does bend a little. With the clips that come with it, it doesn’t sag at all

Nice. Are those cut out corners came with the kit?

The one that I used did not come with the kit. They do come with corner pieces to go around the overflow but I didn’t use them. I had some jumpers, so I needed the smaller cut outs. I think they were around $8.
