Why does BRS recommend this?
Egg crate can be used for numerous different things. From frag racks, skimmer stands, to support under your aquascape. It is always a good idea to have some egg crate on hand.
Black egg crate is the preferred surface for mounting large numbers of coral frags for the following reasons:
- Securely holds a large quantity of coral frags in the smallest area.
- All black color is less likely to attract plague algae growth.
- 100% reef safe
- Egg crate spacing of 0.55 inches

I want to use this for the top of my aquarium (12X24) but I have a cat that loves to sit on top. He weighs 10 lbs at the most. would it be rigid enough? Thanks.

Great question!
This will not work for a support. Unfortunately it would bend it weight is applied to a long piece. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions.

Can i use this as a lid for my tank? And will it prevent jumping? I ask because I need to make a custom top due to my protein skimmer
Question by: Marlee on Apr 2, 2016, 11:52 AM
Great question!
You can use egg crate but it will block a ton of light from entering in the tank. We recommend a DIY screen top kit with extra frame and elbow to work around the skimmer. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
