Jumping Wrasses - Glass Tank Top?
I have had and my family loves Fairy Wrasses, and have had several over the past years. However, as might be expected I have lost too many due to jumping. I first tried screens with regular window screen, but those blocked too much light. Over a year ago I remade the screens using 1/2' bird netting. That seemed to work for a while, but recently I have lost two that jumped THROUGH the screen (one this morning in fact, a beautiful red super male).
I'm considering having low iron glass panels cut, but I am concerned I am overlooking something. I have an Elos rimless 200 gal, that connects to an Elos sump, which also connects to a 35 gal refuge. I understand that covering the top of the tank would reduce oxygen exchange from the tank surface water, but I'm thinking I would still get plenty of that from the sump, Euro-Reef skimmer, and refuge.
Thoughts?
Also, the tank is on a chiller.
I would appreciate any input.
Thanks.
Stephen
