Where you referring to the shimmer effect on the back of the tank?

If so, I get that from using three 1500 lumen full spectrum LED spotlights and having a fair amount of surface agitation. It looks amazing, but as you can see it makes that stupid algae grow out of control. That's actually a mixed blessing though, because between that and my pothos colony I don't think I could get over 20 ppm no3 if I wanted to.

I know the feeling! Some pretty powerful lights there, I keep all my fish planted and nitrates are always <10 haha. A kitchen sponge is your best friend, deals with the soft brown algae easy peasy. Green spot is a mission though

Most people don't like how it looks but honestly? I think it looks natural and I kinda like it. I only worry about it on the front glass.
