    Doesn't look too bad, but it is quite shimmery.

    Looks the same just not as bright... Any ideas how to get rid or damper this effect.

    IMO I think its pretty sweet. All I can afford is my cheap little zoomed t5. Man if I could get my hands on some LED's it would be on!

    outside of reducing the movement on the top of the water no! i'd wait for Seano to help ya! he'll take care of it! But try to reposition the power heads so ya don't have that much movement!
