Heh thanks for the frag pack btw :) That is interesting. I really want to get the best out of them, just trying to figure the best way of doing that.

Hmm Interesting stuff in the thread. I have tried lower light on my fruit loops, but nothing. Maybe I will move them up. I know usually zoas/palys will extend more the farther they are from the light. And lol at that pic.

That is normal because of the white balance set for the older setting. You should try to add some blue into that image to see if it produces the wanted results.

Hey all, I was just curious if you guys do anything to get your individual polyp size bigger. Not talking about growth of the entire colorny, more like if I want to try to push a small polyp to get bigger (like fruit loops/hornets etc). I want to see if there is anything you all do/if there...

After you do that, take one with a new white balance of pure blue. Don't think it will work since the white board will look completely blue. I think my best bet is to just shoot raw with a awb and then mess with settings.

I do shoot raw. Canon T3i

For purposes of white balancing regular daylight shots, doing a custom white balance works. What I am referring to is the shots of the tank that are under full blue/no white LEDs. Where white is pretty much solid blue. I have tried white balancing under those lights, but the result is more of a...

That is pretty cool. Let us know how if you figure this out. Should make a cast and make a metal version of this lol.

So the purpose of this thread, is to figure out how to get the best true to life shot of a reef under blue LEDs. Are there any tips/tricks you recommend to get the best look? I have tried various white balance settings with the camera, but seem to come up short when shooting under the solid...

I love seeing stuff like this. Keep it updated with photos of the setup. Curious to see how you are going to do the manifold :)

Vacations always seem to take a toll on a reef tank. Wish you the best man.

Looking good. I usually don't like bare bottom display tanks, but it looks good. Cool rockwork and coral shots too.

Thanks man. So far so good with the ATS. Just kind of annoying having to clean it out weekly lol. It won't hurt your system at all. If you have the cash, go for it. Just make sure you stay on top of it since issues can happen with clogs/leaks. Thanks :)

Awesome shots. I love non-photo corals. Glad you were able to save em.

lol nice. Got to get them started young.

Thanks :)

The colors always look good on slimers. I think I got this one from Jim on here.

That is a green slimer, looks different under attinics than it does with daylights. Thanks.

Thanks guys. The sand is more of a result of the vortech and clowns kicking up sand and moving lol.

Here are some updated shots from today :)
