Ive used the profilux stimu led bar for a couple years with a storm everynight (by accident) and no ill effects at all. Most camera flashes are leds now (especially cell phone cameras) thats what they do.

I love real storms, so I have my radions storming once a week and was planning out a system to rain during the storm for the added effect.

I read that some fish need the storm season to get them to spawn. I haven't researched it much as I have no plans for breading. Just pointing out a potential benefit of it.

You can set it manually so I only use it whenever I feel like showing off to my guests Other than that, I don't use that feature. I think it's annoying

+1 for me the novelty wore off after about 5 seconds.

I set mine back down to 10% after watching one episode that went on for about 20 min. My fish were definitely a little skittish. They don't seem to mind the cloud episodes, but don't think they like the lightning.

I love real storms as well. It was weird seeing the flashing with no noise (thunder). I clicked on the feature to have my powerheads connected to the lights, but I didn't see any difference in the flow of the tank during the storm. It only lasted about 10 mins and was done.
