Cricketman Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 its a reading taken from inside. 35% lets in 35% of 100% outside light 5% is very dark, and on a not-too- bright day is almost BLACK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Black material works well, just tape it on using black pvc tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdspider Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I had a spare piece of poly I painted black and used as a background. It's solid, so not fiddly like material or paper. It's matte so doesn't look yuck if water drips down. I didn't want to paint anything on my tanks cos I figured they'd be harder to sell if I ever wanted to do so.
