those strobes can't go in the water, correct? Have you used them in the past, pressed against the glass?

I won’t be in the water and neither will the strobes. The last time I used one strobe in a giant soft box outside one end of the tank but it was not pressed against the glass. Do you think I should press it right up against the glass? I know this is different than shooting in a pool where I would be underwater. It’s a little hard to find information on the best way to do this. Should I have diffusion on my soft box or take it off? It’s silver inside.
