tunze refugium light failure or coincidence ?

chriss1992 · Mar 31, 2020

I didn't snap a pic but I was moving around the fully submersible tunze refugium light that has pink diodes and there was a cloud of pink water with the light turned off that stayed behind after the light was taken out. When the heck could it have been and is it even possible that was a coincidence and not the light ?this light

Not sure on this one. I would be inclined to say coincidence since nothing I can imagine coming from the light should make the water pink, but maybe someone who is smarter than me will weigh in.

Wow! There was a thread exactly like this a few weeks ago, same light, same pink cloud in water.

Nothing from the LEDs should be causing this.

Most posters, including myself, said that it must have been an illusion from you looking at the bright red light and then when it turned off your eye had that image burned into it, causing the illusion the water was pink.

Very strange that two people would report this though imo.
