Fish suggestions

[fishytime]

Just to suggest a few things that may be available at a lfs near you. Royal Gramma, Magenta Dottyback, PJ Cardinals, any of the Damsels, Six-Line wrasse. I had the same issue when I had my 20g going, seemed all the cool fish were jumpy or needed a 100g tank sooo....

People are really only discouraged from buying wild caught Banggai Cardinals, as there population in the wild is quickly dwindling due to over collection. There *are* captive bred ones available, though.

I would suggest a Bicolor Blenny or a few captive bred Cardinals

What I don't understand is how to put a lid/eggcrate with all of the stuff hanging on the edges?? The lights are mounted to the sides and the filter, heater and powerheads off back - where do you set the lid on??
So cardinals, dottybacks, blennies, six-line, etc are fairly safe for jumping? Or just good second fish additions?

Beauty of eggcrate, you can cut it. Notch it if you will, to fit around the stuff you have hanging on the back. I havnt seen your tank, but Im sure with some ingenuity, someting could be fashioned.

Anyone have a picture of their tank with eggcrate on it? Just wondering what it looks like??? And where do you get it? Does most of the light still get through?

Eggcrate is that white plastic square stuff on flourescent lights. alot of people have them for frag racks in tanks etc. My camera busted, so I cant take a poc of mine.

Borrowed a pic from elsewhere here on Canreef. This is eggcrate, what the frags are sitting on

Doesn't this cut down on the light penetration
