Very cool! I wonder what percentage of lighting they reduce. They seem pretty clear, but there's got to be some reduction.

Nnewhouse, I wish I knew that before you came over. The only reason I don't have any sand sifting gobies is because all the one's I had before jumped.

Very good idea! This morning I found my Pygmy dwarf angel crispy... Poor Vinnie....

Thank you for the post Eric. I have lost firefish, wrasses, and jawfish over the years due to their jumping out.
1/2" eggcrate did not always stop them, and fiberglass window screen cut down too much on the light. It's nice to see that a 1/4" mesh screen and plastic frames are now available.

That's funny this came up because I was just chatting to Ryan about it.

Here's the thread from the guy who sells the supposed real deal polypropylene mesh at reasonable sizes (apparently you have to buy it in bulk otherwise):

Before I PM him to order some, you guys know of a local source?

Thanks for sharing this wonderful idea. I was just about ready to order glass tops then I saw this. I like this method much better.

i found a place locally that has the mesh. you do have to buy in bulk though and i am waiting for quote
