never had mh, so i can’t compare, but even with this 15 year old camera/video, some mh owners can comment, pls.
it links to my photobucket account, but i don’t know how else to do it
Well they definitely shimmer - not sure it’s as intense as a MH shimmer is but it’s definitely shimmering
Looks the same to me as MH, very nice. :BEER
really glad to hear that. it’s only 2 modules. maybe more with a third hint hint to wife.
They shimmer, but not the same as MH. Reason being there are many LEDs when typically you would only have 2-3 MH bulbs on top of a 75g. It duplicates very choppy waters, many ripples, many shimmer lines vs what a MH bulb would do.
You likely noticed your par ratings didn’t just fluctuate 1-2 digits, but swung up and down. Many who study lighting intensity would argue it is better to have shimmer then a constant value. If you turned off all of your flow on your tank and your return pump for a while there would be less fluctuation in your par values, but there would be little point to measuring these values as it wouldn’t be what your corals were actually experiencing during the day.(Ok corals and other animals that benefit from PAR like your clams.)
