egg crate??

[brewski4u1]

so one of my clowns likes to jump ship i have picked him off the floor 3 times now and i just got a BI color blenny! and i know they tend to jump as well ! so i went ahead and made a 2 piece lid for the tank ! i'll post pics once my camera charges up ! but my question is it seems to block the light, is there any ill effects for using a egg crate lid for my corals?

Some say that they don't block any of the light, but I believe they do. After all, they are technically called "light diffusers" and are found in the lighting section at the hardware stores. But if you have a jumper, I still prefer eggcrate over glass tops.

They definitely block some light, but I'd not change my setup because of it! It's not THAT bad.

and thanks for the pointers i think i'll keep it unless i see it causing a problem! rather have the fish in the tank then on the floor!

Could just be the pic, but that looks like a decent size gap there in the front right corner. If so, I'd put a rock on it or something. If there's a way out, they will see it and find it if they want out.
