Can Egg Crates withstand Heat?

[Maverick77]

Hi, anyone care to shed some lite or share exp whether egg crates can withstand the heat from T5 lites.

Was thinking of putting a layer of crate on top of tank as cover as i intend to keep fire goby. My T5 are not fixed to anything, I left them on the top bracing of my tank. So was thinking if I just put my lite tubes on the egg crate.

However, I also worry abt the problem when the lite can't properly penetrate the crate into the tank.

I never try. But I know that the eggcrate is made from plastics. So I guess that they should be able to withstand the heat from the T5.

I secure my fans on top of the egg crate and place it below my T5s,running for 8mths now & so far no problem
