1) Do you keep glass between your light & tank?
2) How far above your tank do you keep your light?
I'm asking because my 96W AH-Supply retro stuffed into a perfecto strip light housing generated enough heat to break the back portion of my 46g Bowfront top when mounted about 1/2-3/4" above it. I think the main problem was the excessive heat absorbed by the black centerbrace.
The light is up on wood blocks now.
