What kind of bracing do you have on your 215? On my 180, I have a large glass brace in the middle (to guess has to be 15-20").
The tank I have is brick style. The sides are thicker glass and it does not have a center brace. It is easier to work with than one that is braced.
The Lumen Brights are great as they keep the heat source elevated higher than a traditional light fixture. In addition to better light spread, this allows for better air movement and would possibly reduce the heat buildup on the center brace.
