DIY egg crate acclimation box

[painter1982]

Any one ever make an egg crate acclimation box? I was thinking of adding a hippo tang or purple tang or both with my biota yellow tang. The pet store has a couple healthy ones. I thought if I got one and quarantined then used an acclimation box maybe I wouldn’t have any real brawls. Anyone have experience with this? Plans on building one or suggestions for adding more tangs? All about the same size right now.

I think it may have to many sharp edges.

I thought I could use an iron or something hot to melt the sharp edges down and round them. Zip ties to hold it together.

Save some time and get a critter cage, poke some holes in it with soldering iron and use that. Works great
