When you take photos of your frags under Radions, what Radion settings do you use? I assume that you shoot RAW with a Macro lens, any post adjustment?

Great collection.

The shots under radions are usually under royal blues and UV. I shoot in raw and adjust the white balance post in light room. Blue shots are much harder to do and not get a ton of blue wash. I take them now and then but I prefer shooting under the T5s and Reefbrites. Still get that pop with more of a natural look if you can dial in the white balance.

Thank you for the details. Can you please describe your coral nutrition philosophy as well as what type of fish/bioload you have in your system.

I’ve found that the corals have better PE and better color around 4-6 No3 and .02-.06 Po4 So I try to live in that range. I feed heavy to maintain and also add Acropower 2x a week for aminos.

Fish:
Powder blue tang
Kole tang
Purple tang
Red Sea sailfin tang
Blue hippo tang
Yellow tang
Magnificent foxface
Pink tail trigger
Malanaris Wrasse
6 line wrasse
Mandarin goby
