I'm in the market to run a HOB refugium (pre fab or converted HOB filter). But I can't figure out how to not light up the tank at night. Anyone figured out an at least partially effective solution to this?

I have an aquafuge and used black tape to black out the hob and it prevents any light bleed, also made a window in it to see whats going on in it if i want
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
