I've been waiting to see if anyone with more experience than I would

(either SimplyDiscus or DAAH) about someone who had to remove the MH
lights
because the fish were so shy. Moving shadows from above probably feel
like
predator birds to a fish. Anyhow, the post said that going to normal
flourescents cured the shyness. Others may be able to comment on this, I
just wanted to point you to those sites and the issue as discussed there.

Of course, you could argue the Sun is more like a MH bulb than a
fluorescent tube...
Except in the shadows by the side of the river creeks, I suppose though.
