Totally, totally agree. I was not happy when I saw those glass tops. I have suggested 3-4 2" diameter holes drilled in the top to let the heat escape. Right now the fans are just moving hot air...

Hmm, I thought emeralds were big on hair algae. I added the blue legs mainly for detritus and left over food. They need more circulation, too, the detritus is just all over the rock and clogged up...

Wow, I would think the 4s would be really blasting a 120. Did you put them in back or on the ends of the tank? I have my 2 on the back wall and it definitely hits it. If you have them on the ends...

If it's for your 30 gal. cube, go with a Finnex 150W HQI + 2X48W T-5 actinics. That's what I have over mine and even though it is a 24" (I think) unit, the overhang is negligible because the T5s are...
