We recently installed a eurobrace on Becka's rimless tank. In this video she goes over the pros and cons of both rimless aquariums and eurobraced aquariums.
Which type of tank do you have? Rimless? Eurobrace?

This is false. Mesh screens cut down on par quite a bit. Color makes no difference. I specifically tested the 1/4” clear mesh screen from BRS using an Apogee 510 meter and it reduced par by 50.While I appreciate Tidal Gardens, they mentioned how having egg crate on top of the display tank reduces light into the tank. That was studied by BRS and was found not to be entirely accurate. BRS conducted the study with screening, not egg crate to be completely up front. The study determined that little to no difference with the different sizes of mesh in PAR. Just thought I should share in case anyone does not like the look of euro bracing, the lower water line, and maintenance. I also like the idea of having a cover over the entire tank to prevent unfortunate losses of our pets.
