Will my aquarium light penetrate through acrylic glass?


Question by Jeff G: Will my aquarium light penetrate through acrylic glass?
The cover for my aquarium is a sheet of acrylic glass (a.k.a. plexi glass). I’m just going to place my light-colored right on top of the glass. Will that absorb too much of the light my live set need or will it be alright?

Best answer:

Answer by Tommy
It will get hotter than usual and the plants will absorb as much as they need but don’t leave light on more than 12 hours a day

    yeah that will go through! do you have a fluorescent bulb? its really important to have one of those. incandescent ones heat up the tank and aren’t efficient. they even have fluorescent bulbs that emit blue wavelengths just for plants! its called flourasun.
