Offbeat Question on light

[Greg Dalton]

I've got a 3-bulb hood on a glass top....Condensation forms on the glass
top and I know it has to block alot of the light going into the tank...?

My tank is pretty well sealed up? Do I need some air movement under the
glass?

Thanks

Acrylic panes instead of glass will improve light going into the tank. Not
sure about Q. No 2.

how warm is your house/apartment, if you warm it up a little bit more
condensation will be less likely to form

If you have floating plants they need some air movement or they may get
scorched. Just keep an eye out for browning/drying leaves on surface, add an
air pump or fan if needed.
