No problem. One thing to consider is the reflective properties of the material you use to block out the light. I'm not sure but the white acrylic may cause some more light to be focused on the chaeto by bouncing off the sides (I'm no expert). I plan to use this black plastic stuff that Jason fox and wwc use on their 700 and 900 respectively in place of a canopy. It's black and just hangs down in front of the lights. Also since it's soft and flexible much easier to move aside during maintenance. Maybe the black would absorb the light rather than reflect it into the refugium. Just a thought.
That could be a concern but honestly this fixture is so overkill that I doubt losing some spelled light is that much of an issue. It would just be to prevent light spill not necessarily focusing the light into more centralized beam to become an issue was my thought. I would be interested in using the material you are talking about. Do you have a link to what it is?
