#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#My light sits on top of my tank, so the salt was gettin all over + inside my light housing. I got glass cut the same length but like 2 inches wider than the light fixture to prevent this. I see all the salt buildup on the glass instead of the lights.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Is there something different I should be doing with my light fixture to prevent the salt from accumulating on it? I'll gladly pitch the glass if I can solve this problem.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
