The same thing happened to my dual bulb 24" model a month ago. My tank had a plastic cover so it melted through that too. I don't trust it anymore so I just put an old fixture back over the tank.

All nice suggestions so far. I'd like to add ember tetras. Small, but active and colorful; they're also a little different than the norm.

On a tank that large you'll have a tough time keeping CO2 levels very high with DIY. You'll probably need a few bottles of DIY CO2 going at the same time.

Also, make sure you are fertilizing the...

I use a colormax and a 10,000k. I like how they each produce and reflect different colors in the tank. But, as long as you're not using bulbs really far to either end of the spectrum, it just comes...

Both are good companies and are rated well. My 6870 is an MSI and I'm very happy with it, but those seem to be a little more expensive at the moment.
