I have noticed that some screens currently available look like they are not copper colored and have something at the mid-point of the screen tube.

What is that thing and what is it for?

I epoxy coated the inside of my tank and the copper-colored screen won't fit. Is the other one with the thing inside any smaller diameter?

I currently have no screen. I have a filter mounted under the tank.

I am thinking of adding a screen because my tank cap gasket disintegrated and I would like to block any big chunks before the filter.

Thanks.

what do you mean it wont fit? It doesn't go up in all the way?

The epoxy coating inside the tank reduces the diameter of the opening in the bottom. So, the copper-colored screen won't fit into the reduced opening.
