I'm using a current USA led light fixture on my 60 gal. I'm having an issue with salt getting under the acrylic guard and creeping towards the led's. if I don't stop it it'll damage the light. I can take one end off but I can't think of how to get something long and thin enough to fit down the inside to clean the salt off. Then I was thinking I might silicone the edges of the glass to stop anymore from getting inside, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea. The light was rather expensive so I don't want to ruin it. It does sit pretty close to the water surface. Like within 2". Any thoughts?

No canopy? Then they need to be raised enough to be away from getting salt on them. I use the canopy
