Then you only have to do minor tweaks in post.
To do this I have a "maintenance" setting on my GHL Mitras that has a color balance that is very white. I use this specifically for tanking pics. So I turn that on and then set my camera's WB to 10,000k. And I shoot in raw format.
Then as you can see by these before and after screenshots, the tweaks to WB (and other adjustments) in my raw editor are minor.
This was for one of the torches.
I won this skimmer. In a local store raffle. I don't need a new one, but want to try this one out and then decide which to keep.I would look at the Tunze 9410. I have always run Lifereef in the past, one even power with an Abyzz pump and thought I really liked them.. until this last year I replaced it with the Tunze skimmer. I have to say I actually prefer the Tunze. Skims like a champ, set and forget and best of all nearly silent. The cup can be removed with one hand with no need to shutoff skimmer.
Anyone have thoughts on skimmer size?
This tank is a 60g cube with another 15g in the sump. A mix of SPS and LPS. I recently won one of these skimmers... the 250. Too big for my tank? Should I try to get the 125 instead? Want to make sure it's not too big to work effectively and not be overly finicky. My sump's water level is 9" so just what is recommended for the 250. I would have to raise the 125 a few inches. https://www.aquavitro.com/division.php
Hot dang! What a beauty. I have the smaller UR Borei 120 on my 500 which has been a devil to tune but think my organics are just way too low being a new tank. These skimmers are built like tanks and breakdown great for cleaning. Now to get mine to skim…Well, i ended up selling the Division skimmer for $200 and spent $500 on this beast... Ultra Reef Akula 160
It was the build quality and performance in all the reviews that sold me.
Hopefully that proves to be true.
It's normally $650 but Premium Aquatics has them for 15% off, and then I got another 10% off, so $498 plus tax, free shipping!
Woah sweet haul. Nice 1 year old anniversary gift for the tank! This makes me want to add some corals now, only 4 weeks old but itching to add some color
Yeah, I only have a few left from the ones I added early on.Woah sweet haul. Nice 1 year old anniversary gift for the tank! This makes me want to add some corals now, only 4 weeks old but itching to add some color
Do you have just the one powerhead in the tank? How’s your flow? Cube’s seem tricky and it feels like my 500 needs a 2nd Nero 3 to keep SPS happy.
Geez talk about a distraction!New FTS

Short answer is I'm McLovin it.How’s the new skimmer working out?
