Good day to everyone on RC!
Ive been curious about the possibility of farming live rock and coral and came across a thread in which it was mentioned that using a blue shade cloth to filter natural sunlight to increase the blue light spectrum would be beneficial.
Here is a link to one supplier of one such shade cloth that also linked in that thread:http://www.signaturesupplyonline.com/
Okay so onto my question, do you guys know if there are any acrylic sheets that could be used for narrowing the natural light down into blue light spectrum? Would any blue acrylic sheet work for this or does it need to be a special kind to get the right spectrum from natural sunlight? Would it deteriorate because of UV light?
The main reason I like the idea of using acrylic is because it would also provide shelter from rain and debris.
kind regards to everyone!
