Make the holes bigger by cutting out some of the egg crate with tin snips, hack saw blade, something else I can't think of.

My 50 gallon fake canopy is a real good fake. Wood post at each corner, light pine, with frame between to hold it all together, just a skeleton, secured at top corners. Top and bottom totally open, whole thing skinned over with flexible either fiberglass or formica, not sure which, but it's black, looks good, prevents jumps, and supports the light kit 9" from water surface.

This is the tank in its current life as a FW:
