eel proofing

[royalshrimp]

im gonna convert my old 75 reef to an aggressive setup. and i was wondering how to eel proof my tank. should i use egg crate??? or mesh??? my canopy is closed on all sides except for the back... so what do i use??? i know how to attatch it, but i want to know what you use

i don't use either just the lids i have and enough live rock for him to hide does the trick but the only time he comes out is when he is hungry he is at the top but i did consider the mesh thing i think would work good

The way i use to totally seal off my tank is i have glass tops that cover every possible escape. All equiptment has to be located in a sump though. Egg crate and mesh could be used also. Just make sure you seal off every possible opening.

Hey Andrew,
I have glass top and a cannopy, but the tops don't really fit and it's a hassle to get to the tank, do you think if I put mesh on the back and over flows I could get rid of the glass and not lose my SFE?
Thanks,
ED
