Good luck with your issue, I love my kessil since I added it. Great shimmer

Reflector hangers are the best ways to suspend fixtures from the ceiling. You adjust the tension to the fixtures weight so you can raise and lower the light with a slight touch. You can lower the light right above the tank then raise it out of the way for accessing aquarium.

For the 29 gallon I just bought I want the shimmer of the mh but worry about the temp drop when the light goes out and the heater tries to catch up.
Do other led lights have shimmer?

I cannot speak for other brands but I have used radions and kesills. They do have shimmer effect very nice. Very realistic like the ocean. Kesill is well known for their shimmer effect. Personally, I like T5s better. Not a big fan of shimmer and shadow.

You didn't care for the radions huh? I'm looking at the radions and Zetlights right now. I think the kessils have obnoxiously excessive amounts of shimmer. I spent a month diving the Cayman Islands and never saw that much shimmer.

Radions good but I thought it was just too fancy. I like simplicity.
I agree with you. Kesill gives you too much shimmer and thats why I want to switch it back to ATI T5. If you have money to spend, go with radions.

When I do side jobs I get play money but it isn't all the time. There is just nothing better to me that a perfectly lit tank and with passing clouds and lightning storms my bride can get a bit more involved in the tank as well.

I myself love the vertex light, although I have a radion pro on my frag / qt
