	All Glass tops Help!
Caviar Hobbyist Posts: 134 Kudos: 187 Votes: 73 Registered: 09-Jan-2004	I received my dual tube strip light today from Big Al's only to find out it doesn't fit on my 40 gallon long All Glass tank. (not to mention one of the lights has a broken pin) I need a glass top to fit on the tank so the light doesn't over hang the open water. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you.

Know your measurements before going to the store....I had to return one because the lenght was fine but the width was about twice as big :%)... ^_^ [hr width='40%']"Has someone taken your faith?

The plastic strip in the front 3rd that would block the light? Thanks, Ingo Proud Member of the New Jersey Aquatic Gardeners Club

I was actually looking for just that the other day so I could upgrade the lighting on my tank, need a glass top for the dual strip light. Last edited by divertran at 04-Jun-2005 09:27
