I posted this in the new to hooby forum when I think I should have posted it here instead...
I have a 36" long tank with Coralife compact florescent strip lights up top.
They look like this:http://www.fosterandsmithaquatics.co...9&pcatid=12109
Stupid Question Time: My wife is complaining about the glare or glow that shines from the bottom of the light (before it hits the tank). I used to have a metal 36" art deco kind of rectangular thingy I would lean up against the hood but soon realized that the salt water would rust the metal into my tank.
Is there something specifically made to stop that glare or should I just continue looking for a rectangular plastic thingy to block the light?
The only thing I see online is canopies like this:http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/prod/237499/product.web
But I'm pretty sure these Coralife lights are not compatible with those canopies or are they compatabile without the legs? I don't know.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks -Jeff
