That's exactly what I use, and don't have a single salt water fish which could make it through there. Even small clowns would bang their little heads pretty bad. I've never had a single jump, and I've been using it for a long time. I learned about it from other aquarists.

I also cannot tell the difference in light from a bare top to the egg crate. The inverts don't seem to either. It's actually made NOT to restrict light. I should have called a "lighting panel" NOT a diffuser.

Because of scratches and salt spray, I've found egg crate restricts light less than glass or plastic.
