    for my 150 i have glass shields so i didnt have to make anything, even tho eggcrate is bigger than the window screen and i guess if you had a small enough fish like a firefish something could jump through..the window screen to me looks like it would weaken your lights more than the eggcrate, idk 100% if thats true, but using common sense, the eggcrate should let more light through since its bigger over the tight stitched window screen.. idk it could be completely opposite, i have been drinking and the mind tends to ramble elsewhere when it comes to fish tanks and old charter on the rocks

    if your water is dirty or cloudy you can see a little bit of the little squares, but thats only like if your sand has been mixed up or something..

    Updattess :) So starfish finally got a starfish :D I will post a pic and I would like an ID the fish store I got him from said it was a fromia.. in the book they had it said he fed on sponges and meaty foods. Any other advice would be great. Also Im not quite sure how I should go about acclimating him to his new environment. I don't want to drip acclimate him really he's floating now pics to come! I also got a cleaner shrimp :)
