Seiryoku Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Not sure if anyone can help with this...was thinking perhaps inTank o_o Considering a Cadlights 70g Artisan II tank...would end up with a Radion or two SOL's. Issue is tank placement, it will be on a side wall between the couch and TV. While sitting on the couch we would be below the fixture, possibly being blinded by it. Anyone seen, or thought of, some sort of an angled shield that wont interfere with light spread, but will save eyeballs? Link to comment
buffalosabres429 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Just build a canopy for the fixtures and you would never have a problem. Link to comment
Seiryoku Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 Just build a canopy for the fixtures and you would never have a problem. Canopies are ugly... Wouldn't want to ruin the look of a bad ass rimless tank with a fugly lid o_o Link to comment
Nano reefer20 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 make a hanging canopy. i had the same problem when the tank was in the living room close to the tv. all i did was made a really sleek canopy and hung it over the tank,i went to the hydroponics shop and picked up reflector sheets and kinda angled them in the canopy, looked sorta like this. ________________________ |\........| leds here|......../| | \.............................../ | ignore all those dots,theyre just empty space.i had to put them there because it would mess up the"drawling" Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I ended making a box out of home depot/lowes acrylic. It shades the radion, hides the crap sticking out the back chambers and keeps the fish from jumping out. Also allows me to attach a dual fan. I painted it black with plastic paint and put a few coats of spar varathane. Link to comment
cuboy Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 are you looking for something like this? they are not my pictures, but maybe you can use that as reference on making a light shield Link to comment
Seiryoku Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 YES! That is what I'm after! The one pictured seems to be made of metal, would rather have acrylic (lighter and possibility of a custom logo/design etched in it). Thank you for posting the pictures Now to contact some of the acrylic people here! Link to comment
NanoCuber1 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I think you could go with one of those reflector boxes as well. Link to comment
