Despite the numerous posts about using eggcrate in lieu of a glass canopy, do so with caution. I finally made the change and love the look of the eggcrate and the extra light that reaches the bottom of the tank, but it was not enough to keep my blue dot jawfish from jumping. I searched for 2 days and finally found the dried body of my favorite fish and it only took him 3 days to clear the small holes of the eggcrate. I'm had concerns, but now know that jawfish, firefish and other small jumpers should only be kept with a solid top/canopy of some sort. R I P.
