![]() I doubt you would ever find clear.
I believe the egg crate is to direct the lighting from fluorescents downward so clear wouldn't accomplish that task. |

OP could probably manufacture some out of acrylic strips if it is really important.

![]() be VERY careful putting eggcrate (in large quantities like completely covering the bottom) in your. Some brands/types of it are Algae Magnets. It's assumed that the plastic is leaching out phosphates. As an example here's a frag rack I made out of egg-crate. Take note that I painted this one with Krylon Fusion to try and seal/lock any phosphates inside but apparently it didn't work.

![]() Apparently there are a few different "compositions" that go into making egg-crate. I think one of them is more of an "Acrylic" material than plastic so that's probably better.
No it wasn't the only spot. I had 2 egg-crate racks and they were the only places that had more than just a pinch of it. It was obvious even to people that knew nothing about reefing or GHA that the "racks" were growing it very well. Once I took all of the egg-crate out the GHA was gone in a few weeks from every where. It couldn't be just a huge coincidence. |
