I have been having trouble finding something to light my 46g bowfront, which came with a FW light. I was seriously considering <a href="http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=12109&N=2004+113345">this</a> CF fixture because it has mounting hardware that looks like it would work with my tank. I was just going to go "open top" and maybe cut a piece of acrylic to fit the bow part up front. But then I discovered a new wrinkle: it's supposed to be used with covered aquariums only.
So is there another place I should be looking for lighting for this thing? I'd prefer something other than an HID(I'm planning for FOWLR and maybe a BTA in the future).
Or could I cut a big piece of clear plexiglas to cover the whole top of the tank and cut several big holes for good gas exchange?
Sorry for the babbling, but any input would be appreciated.
