Good point

Actually, as it was pointed out there is still the evaporation issue, so I don't really want to go the egg crate route. I don't have egg crate readily available anyway. Ultimately, If I can't find a solution for under, say, 15 bucks, I might just reluctantly forgo a cover. I'm not too concerned of jumping fish, just mostly evaporation. I guess what I'm really getting at is that I at least need a semi-appealing light fixture for under $15, prefferably one that is also a cover. Again, if you've come accross one in this price range, I'd like to know. The cheaper the better.

Thanks again, and happy aquarium......ing!
