Hi all,
I'm in the process of changing the lighting on my aquarium, but it's an aquantlantis brand and i cannot find replacement lights anywhere in the UK. I'm fine to get an alternate light, my current light unit and hood / lid flaps sit together perfectly, something that won't happen with a light that sits slightly above the aquarium on the raised, slideable metal hinges.
I was contemplating taking a few cm off each flap, to allow a new light unit to fit in, but would need to cut off enough to ensure no shadows.
Or I qas wondering if something like this would work instead, and I could spare the original lid
Is this material suitable for a lid? The main reason I want one, is to reduce condensation as much as possible (which is why I like my current closed setup), and also to stop the kids throwing toys in there.
Thanks in advance.
