RIP my little lizard blenny

Sometimes fish just jump. Who knows why. Maybe some of that anti-bird garden netting for over the top of your canopy is a good idea? I plan to use some myself if I can find some (might have to wait until spring??)

Anyhow sorry to hear it Laurie.. I know how you feel.

Thanks Tony, I like the idea of covering the top but Steve wont let me put anything over the tank that would cast a shadow on the corals (like egg crate or gutter guard) do you know if that type of netting casts shadows?

sorry to hear about your fish I hate it when they jump because there's pretty much nothing you can do for them at that point.. at least if fish get sick you have a fighting chance. If they jump their fate is pretty much sealed.

I am surprised no one has come up with some sort of perforated glass or acrylic. Or maybe they have but I've never seen them? It would allow the tank to breathe, the light to pass and the fish to stay put ? Bad idea?

Thanks it does suck when they jump.

Your idea sounds like a good one to me, so you just need to invent it and we'll be good to go or if something like that exists we need to find out how to get it.

Well you can look on the bright side of this at least you didn't have to put on the mask and flippers this time..

Hopfuly the future is brighter from hear on..

Sorry to hear Laurie...total bummer when you find them on the floor.
Check out my thread and the cover I made...I really don't think there is any lost light with the mesh (nothing like eggcrate) if you really do want a cover.

Can you still get it in silver that may even help with the light. I don't know never used it before.
