When to choose it

Choose this net for a shallow tank or a surface you can reach from the rim. The fixed handle keeps its length, and the rectangular frame gives you a straight edge for skimming alongside an open panel. Compare a telescoping version for deeper work.

The mesh pocket is listed at 2.5 inches deep. Check how much room it needs when lifted near plants or tubing. The listing gives 9.5 inches total, so measure your grip-to-surface distance rather than assuming that figure describes handle reach alone.

Questions about this product

Does the handle extend?

No. This version uses a fixed braided handle. Compare the telescoping net if you need adjustable reach.

What does the four-inch size refer to?

It is one frame dimension. The other is 3.5 inches and the listed mesh pocket is 2.5 inches deep.

When would I want a smaller hoop?

Choose a smaller hoop if the lid opening or nearby fittings leave too little space to turn this rectangular frame.
