spray paint the inside for stealth, 4-5 coats of black than as many coats of white till you cant see the black, dont get the 99 cent a can paint it'll chip way to easily. Velcro the strip wherever

u can use zip ties i did and i used foil tape it works fine for reflecting light just throws it it random directions which is fine because...whole box is foil or plants...i painted mine black to help with the light prob...i worked but heats went up want some pics of inside and outside? made my own filter 2 :)

the good premium paint stayed on mine just fine, cleaned it first let it dry and painted, granted i spent like 60 bucks on fucking paint it still worked perfect and was completely stealth

just to let you know next time on a Rubbermaid, it would be more beneficial to find something for your pots that would take up more floor space and not height space, roots will grow no matter what, you can gain some more height doing that.

At first it looked like it ws just the one now I see your set up, the best bet what is do since u cut whole in the rubbermaid and didn't do it the other Wat is to get the top Rubbermaid and the bottom lid and hot glue and cut as much as you can to where it will still snap on an not look tampered with and line the inside with the reflective tape

You will have to modify it as soon as they get bigger so may as well do it now make your whole between the rubbermaids as big ass possible but make sure they still fit right
