Picture Wanted of Egg crate top

Delphinus · #1 07-19-2006, 06:56 PM

This is the best picture I have online (I've never really photographed the top of the tank, sorry..). Anyhow it's just a piece of eggcrate cut to size and resting on the edges of the glass.

As muck said, home depot or rona, they won't have it at staples.

Look in the lighting section also, that is where you will find it.

If you spend a little more $$$ you can get the reflective type. Looks signifigantly less ghetto & you get a bonus reflector. ***NOTE*** the eggcrate may sag & bow depending on how hot your lights become; you may need to reinforce or even double up for long-term sucess.

FWIW, I hate the look of this stuff. It blocks a lot of light, and is very bright (from all the light it catches), so it is by far the most distracting top I've ever put on a tank. I have it on one tank, but took it off the other... as soon as the summer heating season is over, back to glass!

thanks for all the input...So Matt, you would recommend a glass top? I have thought about doing a glass top and since i am in the window business it would be easy for me to get my hands on a custom cut piece of glass...I will think about it..i just hate the look of the glass after it gets mildewy..and ugly and dont want to clean it all the time...
