mountaintoppufferkeeper Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Anyone know if HDPE mesh is fish safe ? I was considering options for DIY dividers in the 270 gallon tank. My current plan is 3/4" pvc frame and zip tied 1" mesh HDPE fencing to size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd Duck Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I don’t know about HDPE but I’ve used eggcrate type lighting grid barriers in tanks with no issues. Suction cups zip tied to the grid or suction cups with heater holder type clips to hold the grid worked for me and held my Jack Dempsey pair apart.

nabokovfan87 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 from a plastics website on the googles.... "Virgin, or non-recycled, HDPE is food safe. Recycled HDPE products are reviewed by the FDA on a case-by-case basis. Virgin HDPE is great for making food safe plastic containers since it resists corrosion, doesn't absorb much moisture and doesn't leach chemicals." This one has some great details. https://www.acmeplastics.com/content/the-ultimate-guide-to-food-grade-and-food-safe-plastics/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
