Hydra on 120g

[mbedak]

Hello,
I am thinking about adding T5 lights on my 120g tank, currently running 3xHydra 26 and 2x Hydra32. The disco ball and shading is really annoying.
Was thinking about a Giesemann stellar unit.
What do you think?
Also it’s pretty hard to find good advice here in Croatia, so any other advice is welcome.

Does "Disco ball" refer to shimmer?

Was your intent to swap to the T5's, or add them as supplemental lighting? If the latter, I do not believe it will help shimmer at all.

I thought of adding them as a supplemental light, to reduce shadowing, get some light from the front side, and if I blend a bit of that shimmer, great.
