Please show how you have this rigged up. I really want to have this natural light dappling in my amazon community tank.

I briefly had this tank setup:

LED spotlight and high waterflow at the surface to create a ripple.

doesnt take much surface agitation, but the led is important. keep in mind yes 225 is a pretty good chunk of change, light output is similar to a 150w metal halide but dont need to replace bulbs and run 1/5th the energy. should pay for itsself within a year over T5 or metal halide. had decent shimmer with led spotlights on other tanks, but never seen the rays of light like well the sun. only complaint is light spill due to round lighting area and a rectangular tank.
everyones tanks look great. curious if anyone is running halides, ive seen some impressive shimmer in SW tanks.
