Hey guys, so I had a random thought about controlling algae in my sump with window tint. My Light over my refugium spills over to the other sections of the sump, it's a rather small sump, only 18x18 and the other sections are beginning to grow algae as well. Wouldn't be that big of a deal but I don't want it clogging up my return pumps, I notice a lot of the sumps I see online like trigger etc use tinted acrylic to help light seepage. Well I don't have the means to upgrade sumps so I'm thinking of using a small piece of window tinted acrylic on both left and right side of my sump to help keep the light from being so bright in the other sections. Obviously the tinted acrylic would be cut to be a bit below the chambers to the other sections. I tried searching to see if others have done this before but didn't really find anything. Is this something feasible? Any thoughts?
