Light Reflection?

Mongo77 · 02/19/2014, 07:40 PM

Hello, I recently upgraded to LEDs on my rimless tank. Since I've done this I've been getting headaches and my eyes hurt after looking at the tank for I while. I'm pretty sure it's from the light reflecting off the water surface. The lights aren't even on 100% power yet. Has anyone experienced this?

Yep...I build a canopy so I didn't have to be blinded when looking at the tank.

That's what I was thinking, but it defeats the purpose of having a rimless tank.
