Sealing Brackish Tank for Fiddlers

25 9:37:12

Question
Hi, I currently have a 29 gal tank with 3 juvy monos and a goby. I have an aqueon 70 filter and a whisper 10 filter on it. SG 1.008 and a turlte dock with plants leading up to it for my future fiddler crabs. What is the best way to seal the tank near the filters so the little fellas don't crawl out?

Answer
Hey michael,

Well i was going to tell you i dont know much about brackish tanks, but, i might be able to help...

Have you tried, 'egg crate'?  It is a plastic grid used in light fixtures in teebar ceilings.  they sell it at home depot.

Also they sell a plastic mesh, with 1/4inch square mesh.   you can make a screen with the material and standard screen frame.,

I am not sure where to locate in near you but i am sure you can search for it/

Good luck
