What material works best for Lights Out?

I'm working on ridding my tank of dino's......still!

Lights Out periods seem to work the best after trying everything else.

I usually wrap my tank in the black 55 gallon garbage bags. I make it a couple of layers think since I have my tank in a room with a ton of natural sunlight.

I'm not sure it's the optimal "lights out" material though. It raises the tanks temperature and produces a ton of condensation that gets all over the place.

What material do others use for lights out?

I used a couple of bed comforters to rid myself of cyano. The misses wasn't a huge fan, but she has learned to live with stuff like comforters over the tank, kitchen rags being used to clean up salt creep and sand in the sink.
