I have a rimless tank & was looking into light bars. I don’t want to be blinded when I’m looking at the tank, I don’t want to build an entire canopy for the tank, and I can’t find any shaders for light bars, any suggestions? I have 4 xr15s with 3D printed individual shaders currently and it’s great just looking to add more par & get less shading all around. Any help or ideas are appreciated!

You can't go wrong with Reefbreeders or Reefbrite, IMO. Bleed can be reduced either by shading or mounting on a slight angle into the tank.

Do you know if anyone makes shaders for them?

I'm sorry, I don't off the top of my head. I would think a DIY approach could be managed fairly easily though.

Orphek Or3 bars are excellent for PAR and do not produce a bunch of light leakage
