that should clear things up for you dominick
Thanks Dustin for clearing that up for me!I don't think he would of understood it was only my opinion.

On a side note,I mention getting a different clown.Only get a different clown if you don't have one now.Mixing clowns often leads to fighting then death for one of them.

Re: Clown jumped from tank

Due to me posting an image I can't post, here is the link Lightcs4.

Also, in place of the eggcrate, you may want to try something like this.
This was featured in RC's Tank-of-the-month April 2008 (I thought it was a good idea).

You can make it by bending steel rods in the shape of your tank opening.
Pull plastic mesh across the frame and zip tie it in place. It's almost as good as not being there and you won't have the big white or black eggcrate sticking out. Make sure you coat/paint the rods with rust inhibiting paint.

Re: Clown jumped from tank

Even better than the steel(which will rust) You could make a frame out of acrylic and sandwich the netting(UV resistant for fruit) between two layers of it. put a couple of braces in it depending on the tank. Then not rust and not shadows.

Re: Clown jumped from tank

I think I would still just leave the tank open on top. I really like it that way. I will wait until they have tank raised clowns on sale at the LFS before I purchase another one.

Thanks.
