Really? Hmmm, thanks for informing. I was always under the impression that glass tops blocked quite a bit. Although, since I am using T5s, I try to get as much light as possible.

What about using reflective egg crate ?

The reflective paint on that egg crate flakes off. I wouldn't want that falling in my tank.

I have the coralife 2-96W lighting fixture so for me i am guessing the less obstruction the best..i have a 33 G tank. So it isnt that deep.24 inches..so i may just go the egg crate route, but i stopped by Rona tonight and they didnt have it..anyone on the lower mainland seen any at any stores lately...

thanks
