whenever you get a chance do a search here for covers, alot of people make some good ones mine was made from mesh.........its one of the things im still learning after all these years ...i still dont have a cover lol:):)

you can get cables that suspend from your ceiling and i got the adjustable holders for the cable at aquagiant in edmonton it as $5 for the set of 2 and the cable;) or simply build a canopy...no jumpers and hidden light all at the same time hehehe:):)

no problem at all its why were here we are just happy to help:):)

oh hey good idea like that plastic mesh or what is it called like screen kind of but thicker lol. yeah that should work! all this stuff I have to get, watch my next thread will be titled, "anyone need a tank? the wife says either I go or the tank does" just kidding haha

My bf is attached to a worm that showed up right after our cycle was complete...weird. We've got tons of stuff that has shown up that wasn't intentionally added, thankfully all good. Ive got feather dusters growing on my frogspawn. Seriously no clue where the plate coral came from. Saw it a whi,e ago, just looked like a shell so we left it, then it disappeared. Saw it again a week ago, thought it was a mushroom, but it kept moving, grabbed it last night and yup, it's a plate with tentacles. It's a bit bigger too, size of a quarter.

i just used the metal mesh but ive also used netting before as well.so long as it doesnt block out the light your fine.



did you see my sig lol "turns out the misses wasnt reefsafe" yeahhhh that i put to the test and was true lol:):)

I saw a thread where a guy was trying to trade his wife for corals....be careful what you offer up...lol:lol:

lol mines reef safe she just hates the cost of things with a baby!! haha but so do i, luckily you dont have to buy it over and over. I have a turbo snail, I thought he was covered in small barnacles, turned out hes covered in small feather dusters, he's probably the best cleaner/filter feeder in my tank haha

lol thats rich!

good cover is egg crate, you can pick it up at home depot. Its useful stuff

funny thing is My dad has some in his garage, phoned him up, and he gave me a nice 24x16 peice which is more then enough to play with! score! now I just have to convince the Mrs. to let me hang up the light lol
