just thought i would make this thread as i have seen afew posts here and there about the subject. light in you're root zone is the main culpret.you will see threads asking how to fix this and you will hear the gambit of responses from duct tape to spray paint.the problem with spray paint is it takes a certain type of primer/paint for it to adhere to the rubber/plastic or else it will just peel off.this ends up costing a small fortune if you have a few bins you are working with besides the pain in the ass it is to do and the time it takes.

same goes with duct tape it's abit pricey nowdays and can be a pain to apply as well.so a few years back after doing the methods above i thought to myself as i do alot how can i do this better,quicker,cheaper?

so here's my quick fix that i have been doing for awhile now.it costs all of around 2 to 2.50$ in supplies and takes about 2 to 5 mins per bin and you are ready to rock.

i used to put up alot of dyi stuff that i came up with but for whatever reason stopped.i might do it again...:thumbsup:

ps i just cut a notch in the end of the lid to drop my air stones in and it makes it easy to top off or change nutes out.
