My 90G has an egg crate "lid" on it. Will this be acceptable for keeping wrasses? To jump out of the tank (in my overly logical mind, anyway) they would have to be very small and jump straight up perfectly to get through it.

Interesting. I'll keep that in mind. I've got a T5/ LED hybrid unit. I put my first few corals in this past weekend. Couple zoas, toadstool and hairy mushroom. So far so good. One of the zoas and the toadstool is on the far end and seems to be getting plenty of light at the moment.It will absolutely work to keep your wrasses in. It will unfortunately also work to keep some of your light out. That may not be an issue for you, but if it is look at the DYI screens at BRS, they will also keep wrasses in, but won't block out as much light.
Thanks @evolved. I appreciate it. I haven't even bought one yet, just doing my research.Is it acceptable? That completely depends on how big the wrasses are; little ones will go right through it.
Experience has taught me this: If the head fits, the fish fits.
If they're all over 5", than I wouldn't worry.
Ultimately 1/4" clear mesh works much better.
I may use the mesh over the egg crate. My wife likes the way the egg crate "finishes" the top and you can't see the return, overflow and waterline. This depth is the reason it messes with light too, I'm assuming, so I'll have to keep that in mind.I bought a bunch of screen from Brs , the framing & spline from h depot. wasn't too pricey
