To everyone who has refugiums, I am planning and building currently, let me know your thoughts

How many people have issues with light spilling out of their refugium and algae growing in unwanted areas, I've seen a lot of people line the inside of the refugium and black out the sides to avoid these issues what about a reflective film to increase light all around the algae, I'm talking about the mirrored reflective window film, line all 4 sides and the bottom to get the most use and coverage with your light?

this should work. depending on what light you own some sell light visors to limit the light to certain spots.
