Well it's my own fault, I came home from out of town to find my 5 inch Orange Shoulder Tang on the floor , i never finished the canopy yet, i new he was a flight risk cause he would breach the water all the time...

I keep thinking I want an open top tank, but I guess it just isn't worth the risk. Sorry about that guy, I saw tons of them snorkeling in Hawaii once and they are beautiful.

Open tanks do look nice, as I have one but I knew better and made sure I had a screen top. I never thought it was worth the risk.

Thinking about a screen top. currently have glass tops. I had a couple fish tile surf on me. Thats when the Glass tops went on. Cheaper than the fishes I lost. I am lately being drawn to a screen top though. just have to pull the trigger.
