    Question about pictures posted of corals

    A lot of vendors sell them, or in my case when I purchased corals from this guy in florida he has his own and would throw a pair in each pack.

    Question about pictures posted of corals

    Yeah I tend to avoid sites that blackout the foreground in pictures, and I respect those that take the time to post daylight and actinic pictures.

    AWC on a 40 breeder?

    Yea that’s got to ultimately be your decision then, that’s why I have as little technology controlling my tank as much as possible.

    Question about pictures posted of corals

    You may like them better with more blues and less whites , and things can always change as it adjusts you a higher or lower light.

    Good growth no color

    Yeah the tank deff will come into it’s own just got to give it time. With bare bottom tanks it may take awhile for stability in the long run to be achieved. And as long as those super purple ones are growing, you can cut back the old brown pale parts. Just do it one by one. So cut one down to...

    Good growth no color

    Happen to have a picture of your tank? In my experience of the orange monti cap is more of a hot pink color then you may be having an imbalance of nutrients that are feeding the coral with you type of light. When my tank was lacking nutrients my orange monti cap was more of a light shade of...

    AWC on a 40 breeder?

    Depends what you plan on keeping/fish bioload and your feeding regiment. Automating a tiny water change daily of like a gallon would be nice , you have to factor in how much your parameters swing, and also the salt mix that which your replacing it with. Seething that up you add another variable...

    Did you happen to see the colony pictures of which you received your frags from or personally know the owner of the original colony? Sometimes that may just be the corals natural colors.

    Good growth no color

    There are some corals that are really hard to color up. For my it’s vivids rainbow delight. It grows onto a brown turd, with slight purple in the tips but it should be a heck of a bunch of other colors. While I have no issue with colors on my other corals. Some corals look better when they turn...

    Question about pictures posted of corals

    For me, when I view this coral under daylights it has the shine of orange and yellow, but I can’t capture the orange I see unless I trick the camera but pumping up the blue leds, and then removing it with the lense. But doesn’t matter how much I try with a phone I can’t get the orange with...

    Question about pictures posted of corals

    I only use a phone for my pictures and I honestly don’t have the patience to transfer the pictures to Lightroom to adjust white balance, so it’s a lot easier to throw the lense on. Obviously the picture without the lense isn’t what the tank looks like to the human eye because some optical...

    It had almost a chrome blue/green with a odd shade of hot pink almost like the tgc inner core to my eyes, maybe when it turns into a colony it will get it again, I just hope it’s not getting too much light, like the confetti will tend to be all pink shades in overpowered light, it needs to be in...

    Show me your previous tanks!

    It prob took that tank about 2.5 years to look like that. Stability for some reason in that tank was so easy to maintain , found the right bio load and feeding regiment with a proper skimmer and everything took off from frags.
