I have the aquatic life 36" 6 lamp T5 unit, and I'm hanging it up above my tank in my bedroom.
The goal of a reefer, I think, is for the first thing the person sees when they look up is their tank.
But the T5 is so bright that not only is it the first thing I see, but it hurts my eyes, especially in the evenings.
I want to make some type of lampshade that blocks light from going into my room, and I just don't know what to consider making it out of.
I could do black acrylic, but thats rather expensive.
I would need something hard, and reef safe. Maybe PVC sheet??
I also need to attach it somehow, but easily detachable or on a hinge or something--what about a clear plastic hinge secured with command strips maybe?
Thanks if you have any ideas!
