I don't really know how running a sol with the light you have on your tank will work to be honest. I think you might end up with two very different looking sides if you run it the way I image you...

I just avoid fish that jump. Using eggcrate or a screen would ruin the look of a rimless tank. You have to find the balance between what keeps your fish safe and healthy and what looks good in your...
