I have a quick question about a submersible light I have. It is 10watts and I'm planning on running it in one of the back chambers of my JBJ 12G Nanocube. It will run opposite of the main lights in the tank.
My question is do I need to worry about the light melting the back plastic of the tank? I'm trying to make sure the bulb doesn't physically touch the plastic, but no guarantees, as it's a pretty tight space.
The plastic is fairly durable it seems, but the light gets pretty warm. Anyone have any ideas on this? The bulb is 10watts and is completely submersed in the back chamber with some chaeto.
