I am gonna try it out,mmmm question is how to mount them properly
or make a mounting hood
Little bit of hang over on each side,
the lights were sitting on my 20 gal ,with glass cover
my 20 had 2x24 and the basic floresent that came with the tank
then a went to 3x24, (work ok didnt get too warm)
can i have the lights just sitting on the tank(10g) with a glass cover ?
or will it get too warm?
or should i just use 2x24 and one floresent lighting?
thanks adillia

I have seen mounting legs that allow some 24" t5 lights to mount on a 10g tank. Or make a bracket that would allow you to hang it. It might get too hot sitting right on the glass top.
