Today.

Looking good, but may I ask why the coloring on everything looks so different from the previous picture? Did you change the bulbs?

Yes, an actinic was changed to a purple bulb.

Yes, an actinic was changed to a purple bulb.

What was your old bulb combo and what is your new bulb combo? Looks like your previous picture had more blue in it. Did it look like that in person? I ask because I'm thinking of changing out my purple to a blue.

Old combo
Lighting 4 T5 Phllips Activiva + 2 T5 Giesemann actinic+ 54w.

Now:
Ligthing 1 T5 Phllips Activiva (17k) + 4 T5 Giesemann actinic+ 54w + 1 Giesemann aquapink.

With this new combo, looking at the tank, I realize it is much more blue.
But on the pics, it seems highlight the brightness or contrast and not too much the blue...

Hi Leopoldo,

Wonderful Reef! :eek1::eek1:

Your pics are so fantastic. Beautiful colors.
Which machine you use? As I would like to know to photograph thus.

A great one I hug!

Leopoldo, stunning corals and terrific photography. Can I ask what Zeovit supplements you are using and at what dose? I find that the smaller particles in the Zeovit reactor jam the cylinder from moving up and down, making it darn near impossible to pump- have you had any similar problems?

But It's very good to know that you liked the reef.

Thank you guy!!!
I took out the zeolites reactor about 2 mounths ago. I could no longer maintain a strict routine and I decided for more simple maintenance. So now, I'm dosing daily the balling solutions and vodka. Prodibio Biodigest weekly.
