Overkill on the actinic or the color settings on the digital...

Well I do run a ton of actinic if you read my sig: 4-60" VHO's and 8-24" VHO's all actinic's and all of them really close to the water. Its not a setting on my camera I shoot most shots on auto

Hey Mako, do you run Zeo or anything similar? Your colors are off the hook man. Beautiful.

I've been running the polyp labs system for last 3 months and I have seen better color from it

excellent pics of excellent corals

if i read your sig correctly, you run a lot of actinics... do you attribute any of your coloration to this. A lot of 10k-lit tanks have light coloration on the corals... yours doesnt....why i ask

regardless... whatever you are doing, keep it up!

I certainty do, all of my tanks have always had a lot of actinic lighting and I wanted this tank to have the most. If I could fit it on the tank I would stick 4 more 60"ers lol

Yea if you click the red house and view my thread most of the first pictures of the tank were without actinic's or very little actinic as I was still building my light rack and hadn't recieved my VHO bulbs yet

 

[BangkokMatt]

Beautiful!

 

[Atomikk]

Mako, much much better with less actinics. It was too purple and unnatural. I also use (and swear by) 10000K MH bulbs and like to compare color and growth. Did you find that you have much faster growth and bright coloration using these bulbs?

 

[hybridgenius]

crazy... and you shot them under AUTO was the part that shocked me most lol.

 

[Denadai]

Awesome.....

Setup and a full tank picture ???

 

[KenT]

OK, I would like a frag of each please!!!

I'm not using less actinic I'm just running that with 4-400w 10k's. I've always used a 10k with actinic vho on all of my tanks so I don't really have anything else to compare too. But I have always had good growth but in this tank I've had some super growth

(This is the_anti_honda)

Got a new name over this way..

 

[makoJ]

hey anti-honda thanks man!

 

[CW from the OC]

Hey Brian,

I think the other poster and I am looking at the same coral, but maybe not.....

Anyway, what is the coral in the picture below that is the tallest one, a bit towards the right side? On my screen it looks like a "sunset". Yellow and orange lower, light pink or purple toward the tips. It is also really fat.

Thanks!

Craig
