    Wanted to warn everyone about how I just broke my perfecto glass top.

    I have only received one of the two lights that I ordered (Current Sunpod 2x150MH with T5 and lunar LEDS) for my 135 gallon tank. My tank has been up and running now for over a month. I was getting tired of only having half my tank lit so I decided to place my old Marineland T5 4 bulb fixture on the other side of my tank yesterday. (FYI my Sunpod is hanging from ceiling.) I made sure I placed the fixture on the last panel only where the MH light was not hitting.

    Well I was working in my office tonight and heard a loud pop...so I went to see what happened. My third panel of glass where I had placed the Marineland fixture broke in half. The break was all the way through the glass and went from one end of the lid to the other. I guess the heat from this fixture was too much and caused it to break! In my old tank I had always placed the light on the top without any problems. Hopefully I have no glass slivers floating in my tank!
