    Ugh. Sorry to hear.

    To date, I've lost 5 different wrasse, due to similar events. My tank has never been uncovered either. Slowly my screen tops have become better and better, by this form of trial and error.

    My worst experience was with the first fairy I bought. This is when I found out eggcrate was no good for wrasses. I didn't even have him 24 hrs before he went right through it... Adios Labouti (and $150). Vegas would have been more fun to lose that much so quickly. ::)

    Sorry to hear this Eric :(. Check out the screen kit, the video makes it look pretty simple to put together.

    I think thats going on my order.

    I have the old frame still for the 120g. It was just using black mesh. I wonder If i can just use the same frame and get the screening?

    I have the mesh lid and it is good...but remember my flame wrasse powered through mine. So you might wanna weigh it down or something.

    So sorry Eric :(

    No new changes really as of lately! :( Which is sad I know...

    90 G FOWLR is gone... All fish found homes... Had a straggler... My Vrolicks Wrasse.. He maybe reef safe with caution. But I will give him a shot in the 120g. Hopefully I will get some pics of him when he comes out!
