Truly an incredible setup!

Had that happen to me a long time ago with my simese fighting fish. It was full of carpet (use to have long carpet back in the 80's) put it back in the tank and surprisingly it survived. It did it again another time. Well it didn't survive that time. You'd think it would learn its lesson the first time.

Ok acrylic isn't a good idea. I think I'll just build a frame out of wood to put on top of the aquarium and put the light on top of the wood.

I bought a piece of glass from Crystal Glass. The dimensions are 12" x 40" and its 5 mm thick. I've been putting T5 36" 39 Watt on top of the glass. It has been on for about 9 hrs when all of a sudden I heard a crack then a sploosh. My glass cracked and part of it went into my aquarium. Luckily the light didn't go in. Now my question is that has this happened to anyone else? Does the light need to be elevated from the glass to prevent this glass from cracking? Or do I just get a thicker piece of glass ... 7 mm. I suspect the heat and some water splashing on the glass made it crack? Has anyone tried going with Arclylic? Any advice? Tron

Thanks for the welcome guys

Nice looking shrimp

Hi everyone, Just bought a 55 gallon tank from a member here who also lives in St. Albert. He recommended me to this site. Hope to meet some of you someday. Well its been about 8 yrs since I've had an aquarium. It started when my Dad won me a goldfish at K-days. That was a long time ago. Well that got me started with a fish bowl. Buying a 10 gallon and then further later bigger tanks. Tron
