I had that type of rack for my tubes. Major pain, not worth the trouble.
If I wanted to pull one of the rear tubes without removing the entire
canopy, I had to remove all the front tubes first! Now I'm using the
tube clips sold by Coralife. Two plastic clips per tube, they work much
better.

Mine wasn't the commercially made one, it was home-made, but worked the
same way. I guess it might be possible to make one that rests on the glass.
It's very easy to make, just a hole-saw, and a saw to cut the acrylic into
the strips.
