Hey everyone, I have a hex tank sitting in my basement that I believe is either 27 or 30 gallons. I'll be moving in a couple months (WOOOOHOOOOO) and I think I may have a plan for it. 8) I'd like to tear down my 55 gal tank at work, put the 2 angels in the hex with a few tankmates, and use the 55 gal for either Malawi cichlids or to finally try my hand at SW. Anyway, has anyone ever seen a glass canopy for this style of tank? It only has a plastic hood right now with a single bulb light strip that is barely even functional for a tank that narrow and tall. In order to grow anything, I will have to upgrade the lighting, but to upgrade the lighting I will have to have a glass canopy, right? You see the dilemma here.
I've never even seen anything close to what would fit, any help would be much appreciated as the big move is only a couple months away! If I can't find a glass canopy, would it be safe to suspend a CF light over the open tank, not with the legs, but actually hanging it above? Is there a shop light that would work that someone could recommend?
TIA
