Broke my glass lid:(

sucks you broke the glass lid, and all the other people here who's sharing the same story, i love all your fish though! that rtc is way too nice i wonder how many fish he ate in your tank lol

oh and i broke my glass lid cause i left the light on for few weeks straight, and the canopy was not letting any heat going through, so the glass got split in half because the intense heat given off by the light!

My RTC has not ate any fish ever since I grew him from 6". In just under 4 months he's pushing 20" already. My RTC/TSN ate 2 of my baby Mono Pbass's tho...At that time he was only 5" and ate 2 x 3" pbass's...Grew from 3"-9" in 2 months. Also I don't power feed mine. I feed every 2nd-3rd day.

Thats strange how your glass lid broke from the heat? My light uses 2 x 10000k T5 bulbs and it produces crazy heat and never had an issue. My lights are meant for plants.

wow, that's one hungry rtc lol!

and i see your tank don't have the canopy? my is a completely covered black pine one, not sure how to explain it, but is like the heat is trapped in side the canopy and no ventaliation, i can not even reach the light, i use power plugs to turn the light on and off lol.... once is in the canopy is in there is what i mean lol...that's how the glass got cracked
