holes

Why not simply put a dark foam filter screen over the holes??

jd

 

how much light will something like that block

 

quite a bit

If you use a black semi corse 1/2" filter foam it should block a considerable amount if not almost all of it and still give you decent air flow

This may work provided the holes dont have fans in them

 

any other sugestions for concieration......?
putting a blow hole with fan on the top but covering it with a peice of wood slightly larger than the whole and mounted on little legs so that the fan can still get air through the four sides an option ?

 

yea that, sorry mafiaman your post wasnt there when i started to post

 

The area in the stand off must equal or exceed the area of the fan opening and all will be well
So if the space between the fan and the light block is 1" and the fan is a 4" biquet. the fan = 16 sq" the area around would need to equal that. so 1" would work 1" x 4"+4"+4"+4" =16"

 

cool ............i guess a faulse top work as well.........got to figure out what i am gonna do soon

 

What about the plastic vents they put in the sides of houses? They are slotted and would block out alot of the light ya can get them in 2 or 4 inch I think at Lowes. Simply drill the correct hole and slide the vents in?

thats a thought as well.......

 

does this not bother anyone else i searched and found no other post like it.....

 

could u not just take a black piece of plastic (yard trash bag spilt in -2 ) and put it behind

ur tank and tape , thumb tacks , ect. 2 cover the white wall area .
cheap and easy.

 

dont want to getto it ..............would rather do it rite
