leonard2k Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Hi i have been using T5 for many years and did not use other lights. now that i have upgrade my tank a bit. i will like to make my tank to have shadowing blue effect. any 1 can share about it? i know MH can do that effect but then too high power and might make tank hot so this is what stopping me LED i guess will not make tank hot , but does it make out the shadowing effect? i now using 4 tube t5, 1 purple, 2 blue, 1 white. well i just want to make blue shadowing effect. i do keep a bit sps but they are 5 inch away from my 4 tube t5 so quite ok. is there any suggestion?

Solo77 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Yes, they do create shimmering effect like MH but your LED placement and type do play a part.
