Should I do things differently with a rim-less tank, or just lay the egg crate right on top of the tank with extra sticking out the sides since it cant sit on a rim.

I have mine on a rimmed tank at work. I tried using eggcrate on my rimless tank at home and it didn't work so well with nothing to support the egg crate on.

Ok so back to my original question then. Can I just lay the light on top of a piece of thick, clear acrylic?
