Algae will build up on the netting, but I'll throw a couple Tilapia in the cage and I don't have to brush the algae off.

The netting is plastic, and it's available in a bunch of mesh size. I try to use the largest mesh that I can and still keep the fish in the cage. As long as I have fish in it, or need to put fish in the cage, it stays in the water.

Snrub, I'll send you a PM on the mesh.
