I have a small 20 gallon acrylic tank from Seaclear that has a eurobrace with an opening in the top center of about 17" X 6". I just have an acrylic panel cut to the size of 18" X 7" and just cover the opening so fish would not jump out. I also placed my Radion XR30 Gen 4 on top of the acrylic cover for lighting.
Well, I have noticed that there is a slight warping to the acrylic cover even if it is about 4 mm thick.
So my question is: Should I replace the acrylic cover with a glass cover to prevent the slight warping of the acrylic cover?
Also, can the glass crack due to condensation from the water and heat from the Radion light? The Radion is propped up on 4 legs made out of 1/2 inch pvc pipe cut to about 1.5 inch to provide underside ventilation for the Radion.
