Managing light spillover for office tank

[VistaReef]

Planning for a modest office tank (Waterbox AIO 35.2 with an AI prime 16HD). My office is basically a 10’x10’ cube so it’s fairly cozy.

My concerns is light spillover messing with my video calls and ability to work (other than staring at the tank)

tank will be behind me. Any input from those in similar situations?

thanks!

The AI Prime is fairly good with light spill. You could always attach a black curtain to the tank if it proves to be too much light.

I use one of the 3d reefing lamp shades for my ai prime. I really like it.

Light spill is much less with reflectors
Look into those types.
Mitras and Reefi come to mind

Or shades.

So regarding ambient temperature. House has AC and it kept mid 70s year around. At time though, the office can get 80-82f. Any concerns with tank temp? Probably just means I can run my heater less
