Is there any material like an opaque film that can be installed on the baffles of the sump to prevent light spill from the refugium light? I know I can silicone in black pvc to the baffles but was hoping for something easier.
Sump blackout?

I’ve always used black PVC to keep the light out of filtration chambers to cut down on unwanted algae. In addition, I’ve also used the corrugated underground drainage pipes made black plastic to surround my circular protein skimmers for the same reason.
What sump and light is it? I’m working on a product for my IM tank that does exactly this
It’s a custom tank and sump from glass cages. I’m currently working on setting it up and have not decided on a light. The sump is all glass and I am primarily wanting to stop light spill to the skimmer.
