I once had a similar issue with a light getting into one end of a nearby 
tank and causing some problems. My solution was to cut a piece of 
posterboard to fit the end of the tank. A few pieces of tape held it up, 
and it could be easily removed without leaving residue all over the glass 
(like a tank backing sheet would).

BTW, if you need to tape things like this up, I have found that the 3M 
brand *colored* electrical tape, which is more expensive, seems to be less 
prone to leaving sticky goo on things when you peel if off. Just some info 
from my experience with taping stuff to other stuff :-)
