I'm putting my big beast build on hold temporarily. My deck needs an overhaul, so there's goes that lol.
I currently have a perfecto 150 g (72x18w x 27 high). It's 1/2" glass, of course, and has a plastic brace on top. Naturally, they put the center brace RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. SO LIGHTING THIS WITH HALIDES IS A NIGHTMARE.
I'm going to be making a different canopy and light rack for it, but would love to be able to hang 3 halides over this.
In your opinions would this work : remove the top plastic trim, clean off the silicone, and eurobrace it. I would use 3" bracing out of 1/2" glass.
I would also like to get ride of the internal overflows and go with a reef savvy internal/external overflow.
Over time, I feel the plastic will degrade using halides and having a light over the brace is even worse
Some advice here would be awesome
