Thanks for the advice. There is already a part of the lid the has melted a bit and that is what had me worried. I'm shopping around the tank now and if i get any hits I'll probably be looking at a T8. Would you recommend ordering them from the website, or do they typically have these models at reptile shows? I'm located near Indianapolis and they generally have a very large reptile show biannually f.y.i.
