The light WILL leak through the rubbermaid container. I found out this the hard way as I got severe algae growth throughout the container and on my roots over the course of 2 days. Be safe and duct tape the entire containers, sides and top. Also, dont use clear tubing either...i found that out the hard way too as it will promote algae growth as well.
