What kind of light are you running.. I have always been a T5HO person really liked the colors you could get from them and low heat and low power usage. This tank I started out with 4x24T5 but then I built myself a 32 3w dimmable LED DIY fixture with a 16x7 heatsink. It was nice and super bright..but I did a 50/50 of Royale blue and Cool White 10k..that was my problem..I shoulda used NW areound 6500k and threw in like 2 660nm deep reds. The tank just looked washed out and flat in colors. ![]() also the shimmer with that many LEDS makes it look like really fast nervous looking shimmer..not slow and relaxing looking..almost dizzying. So I decided to sell it and picked up my current Kessil 15k ocean blue. Just this one light makes colors pop more and the tank doesnt look as flat. |
