    Long as the top is clean and predominately scratch free.

    So that light doesn't get too hot?

    Or would it be easier to just hang it?

    It will be fine if you just use the legs that come with the fixture or if you want you can hang it. Its up to you ;D

    I just got rid of that light. Ok for LPS, but don't even think about SPS. You're better off spending more money for an AquaticLife. it will have more power and comes with a built in timer
