Hi all,
Recently I purchased a Grobeam 600 and I'm very happy with it. However yesterday evening the girlfriend saw the shimmer on the water surface and commented how she prefered my old lighting as the shimmer does funny things to her eyes. So being the good boyfriend (or whipped I'm not sure at this point....) I'm looking into how to solve this.
Currently I've done the following
1) add in a matt white back ground to 2 of the 4 sides of the tank
2) reduce the power output of the LEDs to 50%
3) add in the old lighting, 1 x 24W T4 blub - this has caused the most improvement so far.
4) raise the grobeams using the new rim mounting brackets - (this was already planned but has slightly helped)
My question is do any of you know of any LED light diffusing films, I could place on top of the glass that currently sits on top of the aquarium? Would swapping the glass for a frosted perspex help?
