B-e-a-utiful!!

Wow that's a lot of coral lol. Looks great!

Very nice. I look forward to seeing this tank fill in.

Nice collection CUNAReefer! Very nice set-up and great pics. Please keep them coming. How much extra special are you dosing during your 2x weekly regime?

Great collection of corals, love all the different colors

Thanks for the comments everyone!

I dose 6ml of the extra twice a week. I was using the extra, but really have noticed better results with the extra special.

Thanks, Reef_Noob!

I changed my bulbs this week. I went from 4 ATI Blue Plus, 2 ATI Actinic, and 2 ATI Aquablue to 3 ATI Aquablue, 3, Giesemann Midday, and 2 ATI Actinic. When I took the pics below, I no longer needed the custom white balance used for my super blue lighting. I set the white balance to fluorescent. Some of the pics were made darker with the use of a custom setting. Some of the original pics were too light due to the color of the new light. The new light is more of a yellow/green/white look. The spectrum may not be as aesthetically pleasing to the eye, but I really like the "œnatural" look it provides to my unnatural looking tank. At 19" above the water line and 9" below the water, I am getting a PAR level of 420 at the very center of the tank. Directly under the ends of the fixture, my PAR is 250 at the same depth of 9".

My current parameters are the following:
.5 Nitrate
.04 phosphate
440 Ca
9.10 Alk
350 Potassium (Time to start dosing again)

Hope you enjoyed the pics!
