I just got my new light fixture for my tank and I want to make a cover to go over the tank. Not a full hood or anything but something like an acrylic or plexiglass sheet to cover most of the top to hopefully stop some evaporation but mostly so that i can get a firefish and prevent it from jumping. My question is what material is good that will not stop the light from penetrating the tank. Its a t5 fixture. thanks _________ 28 gal bowfront 40 lbs live sand 30+ lbs live rock external overflow to 5 gal sump PS75 protein skimmer 4 x T5 light fixture
