Ignore the barrel distortion of the craptacular camera

(I offset it because of where the plants are in the tank)

Comparison
12x700mA K2 (top) 1x13watt AH Delux (bottom)

2weeks

3.5 weeks

Little shimmer video. While it doesn't shimmer quite as well as a single point source (MH), it does shimmer (multiple point sources). Later I may try using less emmitters at a higher current.

NOTE: while testing out the lights, I only run them at work to make sure there is no electrical/thermal issues (which there isn't thus far). ..so this tank has no light on the weekends!!!
