So I finished making the stand for my 46 bow front this weekend and it was no easy task with the bow in front to account for. I just picked up the tank today and noticed it has one of these plastic braces right in the middle
. The problem is that I have a 150w HQI 5 inches above this brace. I don't think it will melt the brace, but the light and heat can't be good for it either not to mention the light that will be lost becxause of this thing. I assume the brace can't be removed. Anyone have any input? Thanks, Jim.
