Lightting LED ? MH? Shadowing effect

[leonard2k]

Hi i have been using T5 for many years and did not use other lights.

now that i have upgrade my tank a bit.

i will like to make my tank to have shadowing blue effect.

any 1 can share about it?

i know MH can do that effect but then too high power and might make tank hot so this is what stopping me

LED i guess will not make tank hot , but does it make out the shadowing effect?

i now using 4 tube t5, 1 purple, 2 blue, 1 white.

well i just want to make blue shadowing effect.

i do keep a bit sps but they are 5 inch away from my 4 tube t5 so quite ok.

is there any suggestion?

Yes, they do create shimmering effect like MH but your LED placement and type do play a part.
