Need a way to mount my aqualight

[Tsuki]

Okay, so i bought the 12" 36 watt aqualight for my 2.5 nano. I love it to death because I will be able to do so much with it but, i had bought legs to mount it and the light is to wide that all 4 legs don't fit. So i will have to take them back. Right now the light is just sitting on top of a glass top and i went to check it and it's making the glass hot and i'm afraid it's gonna crack. I need to figure some way to mount this atleast a few inches above the tank so I don't feel likes it's going to over heat anything. Ideas are greatly appriciated!

Well you could take a blow torch or a Bunsen burner and bend the legs inwards or make acrylic ones

You really don't want to put fire in my hands, there wont be anything left i'm starting to think maybe i should try the adjustable ones first before i try anything drastic

you won't crack the glass. It feels hot, it may be 125f maybe a little more. The only way I cracked glass was from the heat of a halide. Just cut little wooden feet for it.

Not really, i just don't trust myself with fire

I don't know if my dad would like me putting holes in my ceiling to hang a light. He might even kill me x_x;

Just get pieces of acrylic to mount it above the glass top and have a fan blow from back to front through the space to cool the glass (will also keep tank temps down to a degree and prolong fixture and bulb life.)
