Made a quick video with the new lights tonight. The color is pretty great on the closer shots. Very close to what it really looks like. Color gets very faded when further back. I wanted to get a vid with just the kessils. I will do another with the supplimental lighting to do a comparison. Getting better with the video camera. Thankfully I am getting better with the editing software as well. Used to take me hours to make a short video. Anyway, hope you enjoy.

Those lights are beautiful. But your video is private.

Thanks man, and I am very sorry about that. For some reason it always makes my vids private until I go in and change it manually.
Prolly a setting that I did. It should be fixed now.

LOL! Yes SHE is.
I felt bad for the little guy being chased all over the place. However, the truth is, she is normally the one chasing. :fun5:

Went a little photo crazy!

FISH!!!!
Found that photographing the fish is much easier with less wattage on the LED's. I put some Ecoxotic Panorama "Marine" fixtures over my 300 gallon tank. 145 watts total in two rows over the tank. It was added to suppliment the 5 Kessil A350's. They are very impressive little lights. I found if I shut down the kessils and just keep the Ecoxotic's on........it makes it much easier to take pics. Lights up the tank nicely, but as bit as it is........It brings down the intensity of light. Really lets it spread out.
Anyway, I took a bunch of pics under the new lights.

Thanks very much. I am very excited to see where the tank is after a year. Just hit it's stride a few months ago, and WOW! Now it's really growing coral! I started almost everything from frags, so it's nice to see some colonies in there now. I figure next year should be very impressive if I can keep it up.
New lights should allow for a bit more stocking between now and then. Moving away from LPS and softies now that things are stabalized. Building my canopy over the next week........can't wait to get it above the tank! :bounce2:
Lot's to do still.
