don't you just love asking a question and getting a bunch of suggestions of how else you could have done it, without anybody answering the question?

people bring up good points but, to actually answer your question, black spray paint works for me using a proper type meant for painting plastic means it won't scratch off easily or peel. if in doubt to your opaqueness, add another coat or two, no biggie.
covering a container with aluminum foil or duct tape is all well and good... but foil is shiny, and the sticky side of duct tape is white. both such things reflect light. when used on a transparent container... your substrate shrinks a little, and voila, you have light now reflecting onto the sides of your substrate... busted.

I've been using duct tape. So far so good.
-------------------- The sun was pulling cheap shots doing commercial body tricks, Behind the back, Under the leg, I think he even did a headspin, On a crossfader that sounded whack, But looked excellent, All of the sudden it gets dim, The crater face steps in, Puts mexican drumbreaks on the Technics, He's like "Let's begin", He conducted an orchestra so dope the sun started sweatin' him, I guess he'd expected to win on pure artistic merit, Composing complex plays with nothin but soundbytes, Burned out the lights, Made MCs too self conscious quit the master mics, For a thousand nights, It continued without a single slip up, Except once the record skipped, But it kinda sounded cool.

i dont mean to imply it doesnt work, ive used it many times as well.
i just think its funny how people ask questions all the time, and get lots of answers that aren't answers to the question that was asked. 
i just say do what works for you. if this fine young lad wishes to paint his containers then by all means... knock yourself out (haha figuratively of course, watch those fumes..)

I had duck taped it befor I painted it but when I held it up to the light, well it was completely see through. My other 2 tubs have black electrical tape and they are solid ligh proff. Anyway I am still with the spray paint and will pick up 2 more tubs and some more tin foil tommorow.

ive used duct tape with zero problems.
if youre not a pussy about tin foil than here's an idea from that stranger agar, just line the bottom with foil. it will block 100% of the light, and as the casing shrinks it takes the foil with it. then you dont have to fill the gap around the edges as the flushes go on. For those using DT/MT, it will pull away from the sides, allowing condensation to pass harmlessly to the bottom and not onto your casing. Lastly, it makes it extremely easy to clean up!
(26 post later it still says PANTING... maybe someone might know someone who could look into that...)

i hate when that happens...
if i can say this without it hijacking the thread... but IME there is no Al in the fungus you eat, at least not enough that it should be any concern. unless of course youre eating POUNDS of fungus, in which case you probably have a few other problems that need attention first...

heh. A lot of people believe it's the acidity and enzymes in myc 'piss' that dissolve aluminum, and that the actual myc does not 'eat' the aluminum.

do you use deoderant?
if so you probably rub aluminum in your armpits every day.
do you drink tap water?
if so, you're drinking trace aluminum particles
have you ever taken an antacid or aspirin?
then you've eaten some aluminum straight up
theres *tons* of sources of aluminum that find its way into your body on a daily basis. lets just say hypothetically myc just chows the shit down and sucks it up like a sponge. even still, the few grams of mushrooms you eat now and again would pale in comparison to all these other daily activities. if you have healthy kidneys, your body filters it out. just because some alzhiemers patients had higher levels of aluminum in their brains in some study 20 years ago doesnt mean one thing caused the other; old people's kidneys aren't so efficient either... so there's lots of possible explanations.
i think its silly to worry about...
besides, shitting your pants is FUN. don't knock it til you've tried it.
