Thanks, Tony. Seems like a rough week for a lot of reefers on Canreef

Anyhow, I purchased some Egg Crate today. Took me a bit to find some near my work, but done deal now. No more carpet surfing. I should have known better.

There is a thread or two on here from a few weeks ago, maybe a few months ago, where people were using a kind of netting instead of eggcrate. Apparently it's something used in gardens to keep birds from eating your salad. Anyhow, the pictures people posted looked really good. It's like fishing line material for invisibleness, allows more air transfer, withstands the heat from halides just fine, and just looks "better" than eggcrate. I'll see if I can find the thread, it might be something to look into. Do the eggcrate for now since you got it (I use eggcrate too), but like I said it may be something to consider down the road.

Ohh, very cool! Thanks for sharing that. Definitely something to look into next week. Eggcrate is an eye sore, and I am wondering how much troubles I am going to run into using the Coralife PC Fixture. Last I used eggcrate, I was using a 250w DE pendant.. so I am sure the PC's won't melt the eggcrate? Sure hope not anyways!

Thanks again man, much appreciated.

Got a true perc tonight. Was worried about them pairing up, as the male is a fair size and I was worried I'd end up with two females, vise versa. I went right from work and luckily found a beautiful perc. I would say probably the best orange coloration mixed with black I have yet to see. They paired up instantly, it was quite a sight to see. I put the new perc in, and they were side by side the second it was introduced. It worked out very nicely.

Thanks for all your guy's help. I will post pics tomorrow.

And just to note, I have put eggcrate on the tank now.
