Plus with the heat put off by our high end lighting, even plastic (especially the much more common fiberglass - which I"m thinking this mesh is) would omit slowly dissolving toxins/fumes in to our eco-systems. You may not notice anything today, but it wouldn't be safe in the long run.
Just curious why he doesn't want to tell the brand name? I'm not planning on buying a big role and selling it for a dollar less then your selling it for. I have zero time for anything like that. Just curious what brand you are using.
I was under the impression that off-gassing, even if that is the case here, is usually toxic chemicals that are not making a mad dash to be water soluble. Actually, they're usually deposited as oily films, which in water means hello protein skimmer. With proper hood ventilation the off gassing (if that's even happening here) might be just going right out the top.
Also, the pvc egg crate that people put over their tanks off gasses immensely more than this mesh ever could. Like probably in the realm of 100-1,000 times more, which again, isn't living la vida loca towards water solubility.
That said email sent to the OP, I need some for my little nano
