I think that the addition of lenses would significantly reduce the light bleed. I would recommend medium lenses.

Looks good, I agree with MosMike maybe add some opticts to keep more light in the tank.

my plan is to add some 60-80 degree lenses, i just wanted to see how the spread would be without them before a went ahead and bought lenses. I made sure to leave enough room for lenses so the glass shield would still go on.
