    If it's screen you're looking for, I'd find some sort of Nylon mesh, or the quarter inch square grid lock they sell for overhead lights. Anything "steel screen" that goes over salt water is sure to rust and fail. Just fyi

    Yea i deff dont want any rust lol

    I wanted to thank everyone for all of the help that ive gotten in this thread, i wouldnt have gotten to this point with out making some major mistakes if it wasnt for the people who contributed and helped out. Since my tank is filled now i think im going to make a build thread in the show of your tank forum since it seems there is a lot more traffic than the newbie forum.
    Thanks yall ;D

    Heres a FTS while the sand is settling.. :)
