Light Spill from Inside A Fish Tank Cabinet

[Mark Trueman]

Hi all,

Ive got a fish tank cabinet that has 2 doors on it. The cabinet itself contains a sump tank that is lit at certain times of the day and night. However, even though the doors are a reasonably good fit, there is some light spill around the edges of the doors when they are closed that i would like to get rid of as it is annoying at night. I thought of maybe using draught extractor strips on the doors cut to size to try to keep the light spilling out, but was looking for other ideas on materials i could use and where to get them. Maybe some kind of foam strips or something.

Cheers

Mark

Something like this?

Why do you need to light the sump at night?

[Chris Bacon]

Why not just use those brown rubber strips available from DIY outlets, as the OP said, for draughtproofing?

Because its reverse lit and houses macro algae, which keeps the ph stable overnight.
