I've got a shimmer!!!

Ok, so it is not like world peace. But you folks with halide lighting, I must confess, I have lusted after your shimmer in my heart.

I set up the 90 with six T-5 lights, 2 actinic, 4 - 14k daylight, it seemed a little blue, so when I saw the ecoxotic stunners claiming to give me a shimmer, I bought two daylight strips and hoped. Well, I still did not have any you could see. If I turned off the T-5's yes, but they washed out the LED shimmer. I also wanted my tank bright, the black background of most tanks absorbs the light. So I scrapped the 90 back and today installed one of the cheesy backdrops. And lo and behold, go tell it on the mountain, I have a shimmer. I think it is the extra reflectivity of the back drop, maybe accented by the surface clutter built in. But I have a nice shimmer.

Here is a tank shot of what I have been doing lately:

I don't see pic?
