[REEF SMAC]

Impressive as always. Love those colors you're getting. :thumbsup:

With or without the photoshop.

I finally figured out how to take a decent actinic shot.....

still doesnt quite capture it but better than I have ever been able to do in the past attempts.

Here is an updated FTS with daylights.....

Amazing tank thats all i have to say!!!

That's a superb fts. It looks a lot nicer under more balanced light, rather than just actinic; actinic only shots makes even poor corals glow. With corals as nice as yours, having all the lights on shows off all the colours.

What is your favourite sps? What's your favourite lps?

Totm must be coming your way soon.... Surely

so nice! I love it when FTS look better with the daylights compared to the actinic look. Colors really pop man, looks awesome.

Darryl: thats beautiful. When one can see a myriad of colours in a reef tank lit up with the full lighting, one cannot fail to appreciate the talent of the tank owner. Hence why I consider 250G (dave) a legend...

Would love to see some closeup and top down shots. :thumbsup:

Love those daylights! :thumbsup:

[cFloor]

that's just crazy. That recent FTS, wow! Do you feel this is the best your tank has looked?

 

[dvanacker]

Thanks everyone for the kind comments.....seriously it means a lot coming from some grade A reefers such as yourselves.

Was asked this a few times recently and seriously I can't pick favorites. Its like asking which child I love best. You love them all but sometimes for different reasons.

Thanks......Dave's tank was an inspiration to me for years as well. Hope his new tank is doing well and we can get an update.

I will post up some new pics soon.

The tank has been getting better and better with age...yes. I think that is the norm IMO.....I personally love the look of a full, grown-in, mature SPS reef.
