Top of Tank Tip
There’s usually a few angles I would like to shoot from looking down into my aquarium. Unfortunately the water seems to reflect the bulbs and it’s difficult to work around. I have found a few products on the market that are used in the Professional video Industry that will actually filter strong bulbs and output a even flat light. The leading manufacturer in the industry is Chimera whom manufacturer’s light boxes, these fit over halogen light units and soften the bulb’s output. It is possible to purchase just the fabric which are referred to as “diffusion fabrics” in the industry. I’ll tell you now they are very expensive, but if you live in a fairly large city you would be able to rent the boxes, or just the fabric from an Industrial Lighting or Video Supply company.
