Re: Stendkers in Minnesota

I've never seen Andrew's tank in person, we met right when Covid started. He did mention the Kessil lights, though - those are what give it that beautiful shimmer effect. I love the look, but I'm just not ready to shell out that kind of cash yet.

Re: Stendkers in Minnesota

I completely agree, Kessils are incredible but they come with a hefty price tag. I've experimented with alternative lighting options and discovered that a bright par20 bulb at 6k can achieve a similar effect at a significantly lower cost.

I'd love to know the specifics, elixir - what brand and model did you end up going with?

I'll grab a better video later showing the dimming, sunray and shimmer effect in the water, and post it on my thread.

I found these on Amazon - they're what I'm using on my setup: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0891 ... UTF8&psc=1
