My Aquarium Showcase
Recently installed 3D printed light spill shades on my Ecotech Xr30 Radions and what huge difference they make.
1) Significantly reduces almost all glare when viewing aquarium.
2) The light is now focused into the Aquarium and the colors are popping. Will try and test to see if they improve Par.
3) Clean Inside glass less often. Normally clean inside glass from algae every 2 to 3 days. NOW cleaning them every 5 to 6 days and cleanup is quick - not nearly as much algae on the glass, and no thick algae spots that require constant back and forth with magnetic glass cleaner.
Who else is using light shades and what has been your experience?
