I think it would matter on the size of the holes. But obviously it would to some extent.]]> Sun, 04 Feb 2007 15:12:04 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16398&PID=144090&title=eggcrate#144090 <![CDATA[Eggcrate? : wouldn't the vinyl screen...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16398&PID=144083&title=eggcrate#144083 Author: peiji

wouldn't the vinyl screen actually screen the light out? ]]> Sun, 04 Feb 2007 13:20:47 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16398&PID=144083&title=eggcrate#144083 <![CDATA[Eggcrate? : I was thinking vinyl screen for...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16398&PID=144059&title=eggcrate#144059 Author: Dion Richins

I was thinking vinyl screen for a screen door. ]]> Sun, 04 Feb 2007 10:56:20 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16398&PID=144059&title=eggcrate#144059 <![CDATA[Eggcrate? : what about just stretching bridal...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16398&PID=144050&title=eggcrate#144050 Author: peiji

what about just stretching bridal veil or something across the top? Would that allow more light in? Any drawbacks here?]]> Sun, 04 Feb 2007 09:29:30 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16398&PID=144050&title=eggcrate#144050 <![CDATA[Eggcrate? : I haven't noticed any lost...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16398&PID=144034&title=eggcrate#144034 Author: Dion Richins

I haven't noticed any lost light. I did add moon lights to all tanks since I read info suggesting that it helps the fish see the top of the water. It always amazes me when a wrasse or jaw fish makes it through the EG. I just hope to never find a fish stuck in it.]]> Sat, 03 Feb 2007 23:35:25 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16398&PID=144034&title=eggcrate#144034 <![CDATA[Eggcrate? : Brad, There is an up side and...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16398&PID=144020&title=eggcrate#144020 Author: Shane H

Brad,

There is an up side and a down side to the egg crate. Read through the thread I posted a link to above. It will explain things a lot better.

I've looked for black for some time, even had a thread on it here maybe a year or so ago. I hear it's available in other parts of the country. As far as wrasses jumping from an open tank goes, I think it's a question of when, not if they'll jump. One question, though- why not just white eggcrate? If your tank is as tall as mine, you wouldn't see it. I guess if it's not very tall, it would be kinda weird. I don't think black would look any better, and wouldn't reflect light like the chrome or white stuff.

Thanks Mike, I like hearing that

. So there is a certain side that goes up and down? That's good to know also. Anything else? Has anyone seen black anywhere?]]> Sat, 03 Feb 2007 13:42:29 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16398&PID=143989&title=eggcrate#143989 <![CDATA[Eggcrate? : I don't think I lost any...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16398&PID=143984&title=eggcrate#143984 Author: Mike Savage

I don't think I lost any light. There is an up-side and a down-side to the eggcrate. the thinner side of the dividers goes up so the light is directed downward and less light is blocked. I had to wash mine occasionally due to salt creep.]]> Sat, 03 Feb 2007 13:07:54 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16398&PID=143984&title=eggcrate#143984 <![CDATA[Eggcrate? : That's not what I wanted...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16398&PID=143983&title=eggcrate#143983 Author: tileman

That's not what I wanted to hear

. I also heard that moonlights are good to have in keeping them wet. Anyone else?

Dion, do you think that you lost alot of your light useing eggcrate? Shane mentioned it and that's not good for me. If you still lose fish and lose light, then I better come up with something else.
