I'm sorry, but the pictures I take look nothing like how the tank appears. I can do a lot of photoshopping a raw image, but that is pretty subjective and kind of defeats the purpose. Not sure how people just click and get an accurate representation.
Finally a question that I can answer, I just go through Tapatalk they make it so easy to use, as long as you have a cell phone that can take a decent pic. your done, I would love to see your t5 combo.

2 blue +, 1 coral+, 1 purple plus and dual kessil 160

I love your combo! The kessil really makes it. I had led lights on my 30 gal and loved the color. Since I moved to a 125 gal I miss the pretty blue look. I have t5 6 bulb fixture now. 3 blue+ 1 purple+ 1 coral+ and 1 true actinic. I'm saving up for some kessils.

Thank you :)

Question, why is it that you don't have any Coraline algae growing. I've been told you really don't want it in your tank (as nice as it looks) because it takes away nutrients from your corals. Are you just scraping the glass?

Yes I'm scraping the glass regularly, and yes, I don't really like coraline algae because they are "suffocating" live rocks. IME if you keep magnesium and alkalinity levels relatively low, coraline will face hard times to grow and spread.

Are you saying that using tapatalk color corrects your photos??

Not sure how you got that? All I said was that tapatalk is easy to use to post pictures. I'm not so good with with any electronics so if I can post pics anyone can lol.

Because you said you were answering my question, and that was about accurately representing the lighting in my tank with a photo. I have no trouble posting pictures.

But they just look blue. :(

Hi All,
All nice for sure, I am setting a frag tank up with the new fixture and can't wait
for it to be finished, the main tank has Ocean Revives with VHO supplement lighting

Here's a snag from a video a few months ago. I feel its fairly accurate to real life coloration.

ATI
60"x 8.

5 ATI Blue +
3 ATI Aquablue Special
Thanks Frozn
