    Default top for tank? to keep fish from jumping out

    i am running my biocube14 topless i want to put some sort of cover over the tank but I dont want to close it up from air. I was thinking of egg crate from lowes but is there any other option? Also does anyone sell smaller pieces of egg crate i think lowes only has a 2 feet by 4 feet piece and i dont need anywhere near that to cover my top.

    you can try Bird Block net and cheap aluminium window frame from HD.
    Reefing is just like cooking, all the ingredients have to be just right , except you don't have to bring the water to a BOIL...

    Egg crate. You might not need the rest now, but it ALWAYS comes in handy. Great for building caves under your rocks (with wire ties), or making a frag shelf.
