Great system! How do you deal with the humidity and salt that come out of the tank?

ok, since i have a few sps again, i thought i would start the comparison pics weekly (for now)
all of these were added the same day except the bnest. it was in the tank about a week before i started taking pics. i think the first pics were taken on a cloudy day, so the color differences may not be as drastic as the photos show, but there has been some change already
bnest 5/18
monti 5/18
bali acro 5/18
seaworld stag 5/18

Awesome photos as usual. I was wondering since it has been a while, what do you use to attach the coral?

thanks david, i use superglue gel to attach everything. i prefer loctite - and get the 10 gram tubes because the opening on the tip is more generous.
thanks poseidon, it has started to grow a bit huh? i didnt really notice until i put the pics side by side.
getting a couple of milles today, cant wait!

this weeks pics. notice how difficult it is to take consistent pics with a sunlit tank...
the last couple of days were very sunny in the middle of the day, i think the birdsnest and the new mille colony were a little overwhelmed - notice the buned tips on the mille and the faded color on the bnest. hopefully they will be ok.

not really any change in these in the first four days, but gives a starting point

5/28 - lost a couple of branches the second day and the tips burned (i think because of the change in light) - hopefully it will recover

thanks dude
poseidon - the sunbeam effect is only apparent for about an hour a day, looks really cool in person. as far as the sun burning the corals, it hasnt happened with corals that have been in the tank for a while - since they have had a chance to adjust with the increasing light gradually since the winter. it is just those two corals that have only been in the tank for a couple of weeks. i should have put them on the bottom and gradually moved them up to let them acclimate to the light more slowly.
