Stupid question? Kessil a80 with glass lid?

[FollowTheBubbles]

Hey guys-
Sorry for all the questions! I was wondering if I can use a Kessil Blue Tuna a80 on a tank with a glass lid?
Thanks!

Yes. Just try to keep the glass Clean.

Yes but its a weaker light to start with, whats the setup you're wanting to run?

A 20L QT tank for some softies, LPS and maybe an occasional low light SPS. Perfectly ok if they need to be high or in the upper center of the tank.

Thank you!

I have heavy and “independent minded” cats and seriously need a solid sturdy lid.

Ha, the cats comment is funny. Will you be using two over the 20 long?

I think one lid will probably be (barely) enough, the cats have been dieting.

I was thinking one light. I’m sure even a 10g would do what I need tank-wise.

I seriously did have a cat break though a lid and fall into my very first salt tank taking the light with him and electrocuting the fish. Cat was, amazingly, ok. Thank goodness it wasn't a deeper tank. The light, lid and fish... not so much.
