I have a glass top on my cube tank & have to wipe the underside of the glass every day.

Having a Korallia pointing towards the surface probably doesn't help too much but it gets pretty opaque if I don't clean it for more a few days.

I'm getting a bit p***ed off with it at the moment & will change it for an egg crate pretty soon & live with the extra evaporation (the tank has an ATO).

You maybe get it at Rona? Home Hardware? Home Depot? Commercial lighting suppliers?

I used the mighty Google Imaging Camera

(I'd never have 80's style grey carpet with coloured flecks!)

Eggcrate is good for so many things, I think most of us have a least a partial sheet in our garages

You can get eggcrate at any of the big box home improvement joints. You just need to ask for a light diffuser as most people working in the stores will look at you with crossed eyes if you call it eggcrate

I used to use it when I had a tank with a plastic rim on it.. if your tank is eurobraced it makes it a little trickier to secure to the top of the tank.
