    Metal Halide? Glass between lights and water?

    Is it safe to have 2 175 Watt metal halides 7 inches above the surface of the water without anything between them? I have a glass lid right now? The way the buld manufacturer makes out the bulbs could explode if they get debris or something on the outer glass of the bulb???

    Get yourself 4 96Watt PC's from HelloLights.com They work great and will penetrate deep into the bottam of your tank. They have some pretty good prices.
