I dont know why people keep using eggcrate. It does'nt work and it looks like crap. Mesh is way better, and why is it called eggcrate? It's called light diffuser in the hardware stores.

Use it because of cat....

I wondered on the eggcrate too, looks on employee's faces when asking for it, then realizing what you're asking for and looking at you like you're an idiot or something. I can see it working for bigger fish, I know it's kept my bigger wrasses in.....

I use the mesh too.. I framed out 2 mesh covers using window screen frame. I was going to use diffuser too but i was afraid that would hurt the fish more if they jumped and hit something rigid.
They just sorta bounce off the mesh lol.
Not one fish lost! (due to carpet surfing that is)
As far as the cats.. Mine stays far away after i splashed him with tank water one day, but some cats might not be so easily deterred.
