I just purchased a 30" Finnex FugeRay for a 20 g long tank and I am having issues with positioning it on the tank. (BTW lights looks great; nice output). I was going to remove the hinged glass canopy and use the included legs, however, due to the ledge present on the rim of most standard tanks, the legs do not fit securely.
I'm thinking about trimming away the ledge where the legs will go. How easy is it to remove the rim? I was not going to do any cutting on the rim while it was attached to the tank.
My second option was to build up the rim above the ledge with PVC. I have some 1 1/2 x 3/4 PVC boards that I can trim down to 1cm to match the rim width. Secured with super glue.
If I simply place the light fixture on the existing glass canopy, I find that it does not sit evenly (one side is higher than the other):
Also, even or not, the amount of light reflecting off the glass is blinding:
Any suggestions?
