I have a fixture that uses LED Pucks, so the leds are close together.
The Pucks have a medium degree lens on them and then they have a diffuser on top of that.
I mounted them 12" above the surface.
The shimmer and color separation is nauseating. My tank has no sump and uses a HOB filter. I also have no skimmer so one powerhead is pointed right at the surface.
Is there a way to reduce this without reducing surface agitation?
I thought raising the lights would reduce this effect because the LEDs would have more space to blend, but I have read you are supposed to lower them.
Is this true?
Right now I am thinking,
Reduce height to 6"
Remove lens
Thanks,
Ram
