RE: Coretex lids was RE: riccia fluvitans as anti-jumping device?
Hi Doug
Sorry I left out the source. I picked it up at a local plastics store, I
don't know if I've luck out with having a store in town that sell it but I
think it should be readly available. The place is call Multicraft plastics
and there main business is acrylics. They sell raw materials and custom
made cases and what not. I found them in the yellow pages under plastics.
I comes in the colors of the rain bow and the "natural" color is the only
one that is translucent so if you want a dark tank you could use any of the
colored coretexs.
Good Luck
David

><{{{>> Hello All
><{{{>>
><{{{>> Last night I made my first Coretex lid and it works great!
><{{{>It is a light
><{{{>> weight, cheap, translucent plastic that is used to make
><{{{>signs. It is
><{{{>double
><{{{>> walled with cross wall like corrugation and costs about $10
><{{{>for a 4x8
><{{{>sheet.
><{{{>> It only takes a few minutes to make a bunch of lids, they
><{{{>are break proof
><{{{>> and lack the edges of death that a lot of my glass lids
><{{{>have. I used a
><{{{>> utility knife and a straight edge to cut them. I cut
><{{{>feeding doors into
><{{{>it
><{{{>> that make life easy. Not as natural as a ricca lid but if
><{{{>you cut them
><{{{>> tight a 6 lbs gularis couldn't jump out.
