    Anyone know where to buy this? I'm looking for a strip about 4 inches wide and 48 inches long to go across the back of my canopy. I checked Home Depot and Lowes and all I can find is the white. Would it be safe to spray paint the white? It would not be going anywhere near the tank water.

    Thanks!

    Special order or at your LFS.

    *if you were to special order a sheet you have to buy a whole bundle {25 sheets}*

    I use these. They are transport packaging for processors or microchips. I get them from a friend who works in IT. They are called waffle trays.

    I second the spray paint comment. That is what I did on some of mine.

    I could only find it in white. I painted mine black. I only found them in 48x24" sheets for 11.00.
