    Does that enclosure have any venting? If not, you should remove some of the top so that air can circulate. It's not good to have a tightly sealed tank.

    I used cardboard as the base of course I took measurements of it first cut the cardboard then wrapped about 4 layers of tin foil around it cut the square for the light then I placed black bristol board on top to make it look somewhat nice and just taped it down with black electrical tape ....keep in mind I took about half an inch around the whole screen cover so that there is some ventilation ....cant see it very well in the pics put its there .


    Goodluck if you try it !:)
