I wouldn't try to rest your lights on it. Water will splash through the eggcrate and make a mess in salt creep, and potentially ruin your light, depending on how the fixture is set up. There is also heat concerns if you are using a high-wattage light system. With no room for air-movement, even lower wattage lights will heat up the tank. It is safest to mount or hang them.

see i am getting a 24 inch light fixture and i already have a 20 in all together they equaL 80 WATTS OF PC LIGHT IN MY 44 GAL WHICH IS NO PROBLEM FOR OVERHEATING. the problem is i can never find a hood thet fits a 24 inch light fixture and all the 20 in are too low of a wattage so thats why im gonna rest it on the egcrate
