Salt creep on led's

[Phatfish]

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?

Check magnesium as ive been told magnesium keeps your salt liquified

This is why I use glass tank cover. I also hang my lights about 6 inches from the water. Salt creep can cause serious problems.

yes that a fine Idea. run a bead down the seam of the glass and metal. if it coat the metal a bit its probably a good thing
