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.

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.
