I need new lids for my tank. I called my LFS and they asked if I needed clear or smoked lids. What is the use of the smoke colored lids?

Never heard of this myself, but assume it's to diffuse the light if thats what's needed.

Would they be good for a blackwater tank? I've read up on a couple fish lately that recommended floating plants to help diffuse light...

Maybe ask the lfs? They could be serving a purpose we are missing. Not sure how theyd work with blackwater

It is cheaper than lights. That really may be it. I guess I never thought of trying to block light. I did ask them already though and they didn't know either. Thanks!
