Acrylic (plexiglass is one brand of acrylic) cannot tolerate much direct heat. You should never place a bulb on it. The material also warps if there is a considerable temperature differential between one part of the piece and another. Bad idea all the way around.



Ok, Now I have a slight problem. Now I have to figure out how to make a frame to make a 3/4 plexglass/ 1/4 screen top for a pentagon tank.



I have a hard time making a rectanglur frame.

AAArrrggghhhh!!!!
