My new blue spot jawfish

Cool fishy Scooter!

In regards to your top, they can and will jump through egg crate. And, since you remove it to get more light anyway, I think you need a different solution.

Have you looked at or considered building a screen top? They are pretty easy to do using 1/4 inch pond netting and a screen kit from Home Depot or Lowes. Sometimes the pond netting can be hard to find, but places that cater to pond supplies will carry it. The end product is nice a clean looking, and doesnt affect your light. If you have something hanging over the edge of the tank, you can make it a 6 sided screen using a few extra corner pieces.

I use egg crate with screen over it. I got the screen from a glass shop, they use the screen for screened in porches so you are suppose to see through it better then window screen. The tops are on all night and all day until about 7 pm. Then they are off a couple of hours. I really watch the jawfish when they are off. I have gotten into sps's corals this past year and I just worry about them getting enough light. With the tops off it seems alot brighter in there. I also had glass tops cut for the top but I don't like it so much cause it fogs up and holds the heat in. This spring I will see if I can find pond netting and check it out, if it is spaced more then the screen I will definitly be interested. Thanks for the info.
