There is no reason why those "C" pieces could not go all around and give you a better distribution of weight. All light fixtures and fittings should/must be protected from water. Could you suport a glass lid on top of those "C" pieces? If so would silcone it in to make it water proof. Not seeing it it would be difficult to give you beter advice. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT? VOTE NOW VOTE NOW
