jabeuy Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I'm getting a 36" long tank, and want as minimal light spill as possible. Anyone ever make something like: Or Or ?? Link to comment

jabeuy Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 make a hood/canopy.. then you'll have zero light spill.. The tank is rimless so I wanna see what something tank mounted would look like. It would be a shame to hide a nice rimless with a canopy Anyway, the problems I had with light reflection and spillage may have just been from a particular bulb I tried before. It usually isn't a problem when I go to fish store's frag tanks. Link to comment

jabeuy Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 Just ordered the same light Scorched is using: http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/296235-3-foot-office-nano-mr-aqua-12-gallon-long/ A floating canopy ia definitely an option. Now that the light is ordered, its either gonna be: - tank mounted with the provided arms - hanging - floating canopy Will have to wait for the tank to be built (let alone the light arriving) before I can do anything haha.
