I have about a 4 1/2" opening in the back of my canopy where the overflows and wiring run through, (and the fans push the hot air out of). I was considering cutting some eggcrate to use as a back panel to fill in this open space to keep anything from jumping out of the tank and behind the stand. Are the 1/2" openings in the eggcrate sufficient to keep things (specifically firefish) from managing to carpet surf?
The other option is to use eggcrate as a lid directly on top of the tank (over the water and under the lights), but I am concerned about how much that will affect my light output etc. I was thinking a back wall of eggcrate was the better option...if the holes are small enough.....
