The tank goes from about 79 in the morning to about 83 in the evening. (perhaps my algae bloom mentioned above is from the heat too??
(Yes) My next idea is to make a bracket to suspend the strip above the tank about 3 inches and remove the glass lid altogether, leaving the entire top of the tank open. (Ahh! Very good) The water as it is now is about an inch from the glass lid, so the lights would be about 4 inches above the open water. I think this should greatly reduce my heat problems, and I know from your book and questions on this sight you always say no glass between lights and water! Is this the rout you would try? (despite the fact that the instructions from the PC Lights say do not use over open water!) (Yes) I’m also nervous about any livestock leaving the tank via the open lid. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! (Perhaps some thin strips of acrylic can be attached to the raised hoods sides…
