    Ive recently purchased my first round of soft corals for my 29g and I constructed a charcoal fiberglass screen to block some of the light out for the first month. I used four sheets of vent screening (20.32cm x 30.48m) stacked ontop of eachother. I plan to remove one layer per week. Is this enough?
