    lol thx, that wave action on top of the water when the whites go out, does look really cool, but i can always pull them for that. And if a fish pushes this off, there was no amount of psychiatric help or bars that would've prevented it.

    I can feed most things except the nori through it, but it goes on and off in about a 1/10th of a second so no worries either way. thx

    I suppose I should show my tops at some point; my tank isn't drilled and mine go around the returns and overflow.

    This looks good, but how big are those holes? If they're 1/2", I'm afraid those are too big.

    If the head of the fish fits, in any orientation, the fish will fit.

    What kinds of wrasse did you get? Also bulk reef suPply has great screen kits.

    Yeah, they're actually 3/8", still too big? I went to like 6 stores trying to find something 1/4", but the only things i could find was bird netting, and that seemed like a fish could get entangled. I was thinking about ordering the BRS screen anyways. Didn't realize finding that mesh would be impossible, but had to build something to put on there.

    i got a line spot and mccoskers

    3/8" should be alright, unless you have a tiny fish. :)

    Well, the living one is not small, he's pretty big. Hoping he gets moving soon. Thx for all the help
