Tanks for the tip Carole. Recently we have had our 5" yellow wrase make 2 attempts, once on the floor, and a trip over to our hospital tank. Took 2 days to get him back over.

The actual name for eggcrate is light difuser panels, so yes, it will difuse the light..... Covering completely with glass will limit gas exchange and increase heat, on the up side it cuts back on evaporation..... No need to order from BRS.... you can find everything locally....HD, totem etc has the aluminum chanel and any of the bigger garden centers should have the netting

Rather than order from BRS, go to your local Canadian Tire and get a roll of there garden netting and a screen frame kit. Took me less than an hour to build.

Yes, I just went to HD to get the window screen stuff (frame, corners, spline, spline roller), and I bought the 1/4" clear netting from BRS.

It was a bit tricky to get the netting tight, but overall it worked great and looks good. Doesnt block any light at all on my 29gal LED frag tank.
