Lighting debate!

[johnyboy]

Hey reefers.

I was wondering if I should get a screen for my tank. My dwarf angel jumped and I found him dried up. I'm so mad. I have a mixed reef with many corals and I want to keep my fish safe from jumping but don't want to limit my lighting intensity at all. What's the best way to go about making a cover while keeping the light intensity? I was thinking about making a screen? Let me know your thoughts.

As always keep reefing.

A screen would be fine i have seen a lot of people do the very same thing bc no one wants to see a $65 fish on the floor. I know brs sells a screen kit i havent personally used it just bc i have a canopy but know people who have. Best of luck and happy reefing.

I tested a few types of screening for a fellow reefer. You will probably lose about 15% of your light due to the screening.
