Will most likely be contacting you. Have my six k7 in a canopy now but new tank is open top so will need shades for sure as it's in our living room.

Can I ask what the shades help with? I just put these lights on my tanks

I designed them so I didn't see the lenses when seated in front of the tank. So purely aesthetic.

I wish I could say they help grow coral but I would need to put a reflective surface on the inside or add an integrated diffuser to make those kinds of claims. They help me look at the corals. ;D

You can get some reflective coating for the inside - white paint or mirrors or something - and it will help direct the light into the tank more... Not sure how much it will add though but it is something I've heard of others doing.

Some folks are using that shiny metal tape (like duct tape but actual metal) on my Ecotech shades to redirect the light. They've actually ran the par and said it helps but they're demanding the fullest out of the magnetic mounts because that tape is heavy.

I like this! Do you have a picture of what it looks like on the light? @Projects with Sam can you do this design for a K7 Pro lll?

Edit: Picture on post #37 sorry I didn't realize it wouldn't copy over

These are designed for the K7V3 and K7Pro. They have the same case so the shade works on both.
I’m not back in town till the 3rd though.
I have a ton of shots with the shades on my build page; also some videos up. I need to add more to the webpage.

Here is a shot I had from before I left

I think he's referring to the picture in post 37 that isn't your design.

Thank you! I need two of them when you get back and can work on it please!

@BContos
Something like this? This is 50 mm down at a 2 degree taper from the bottom of the brackets. That's a K7V3/Pro light I modeled to ensure the best fit with the least obstruction for my brackets.

this is at a 5 degree taper:

are you back on full blown capacity? Looking to place an order for a K7P3

Hi!
I am. I'll always have a couple of printers down I think... Just weather related fun now! The cold snap has been messing with the larger things I print because even though the printers are enclosed, the ambient temperature is lower. Just more warping so I've had to throw more bad prints away.

Can you suggest a Noo-psyche K7 Pro III shade to go over a 20 gallon cube in my office (roughly 18" square)? I would love to purchase one from you if you could suggest something to minimize light spill. Thanks!
