    almost bought a blue spot jawfish the other day when the owner said do you have a tight fitting cover i said no i run 250 watt mh so he put it back . said he was saving me 60.00 question is is there a way to cover a tank with 2/ 250 watt mh its a 90 gal w/almost all acros really like this jawfish i know they tend to try and re arrange the bottom to suit themselves, but dont want to interfere w/the acros getting the light they need

    i use a 3'' strip of window screen around the whole edge of the tank leaving the middle open lets air and light in and keeps the jumper from getting out
