Further AI Sol question

I have mine about 12" above the water with the stock 40/70 and see what I call shimmer, but I've never had halides to compare to. There is very little flat spots in my tank with the rock in the back and the sand almost covered with various corals so this might help.

What I'm referring to is the separation of blue and white light, giving a disco effect. It bothers my brain..

[jorjef]

I'm going to check when I get home. I can't remember it being noticable but will look for it in particular.

Yes mine are stock optics. If you don't wanna see it, you can put a diffuser. But that would cut down the light too

If I go with three units, I'm going to need all the light they put out

It'll also depend on the white/ blue ratio you run

I like more blue than white. I currently run Radiums and would like to stay close to that..

I run 100 on blues and 75 white and I can see it only if I look for it. Never when looking at the tank as a whole
