    So yeah better late then never. Egg crate does not keep diamond gobies in. I have a clear screen mesh cover but had to recently displace every one to take my tank back to the factory. I only had egg crate to cover the right side of the huge 100g tub I put everything in... This morning I have 2 dead gobies laying on... The top of the egg crate. I had the BRS mesh over half the tub... A sad sad day for sure but with an over all disaster like this one (see my build thread for the details) if all I loss is my 2 sand sifters I will be lucky.

    PS the BRS mesh has been par tested and blocks no detectable amount of light.

    My wife had a problem with jumpers until she started running 1% on the AI Sols all night. She theorized they weren't jumping, just not realising where the surface was. Our experience is that she may have been right. Nothing has been lost since we started running the lights.
