    Default Help with preventing escapes.

    I recently upgraded my 5.5 to a ten gallon which is great (ADF's). The only problem is the gaps are much larger in the back. I put on some foil but there's still enough room for them to sneak out if they wanted to. Not sure what else to do. Thanks for any help on the subject. Gotta do some deep thinking about it

    Best is a tight fitting lid that allows some ventilation, I use screens on my smaller tanks.

    I've used duct tape, saranwrap, you name it to close gaps though! They WILL escape.

    I actually use bridal lace and duct tape it over the entire lid. It is a cheap solution and you can cut it to whatever shape is being exposed.
