Let's see those "Old School" daylight pictures

[JCOLE]

As the titles states. I would love to see pictures of Acro's in all of their daylight glory. Just trying to get ideas as I am going to start up my 480 gallon peninsula with "old school" pieces in a couple of months. I am going to run 400w Radiums so not interested in the blue light corals.

Even if pictures are 20 years old, Let's see them! I love seeing Acro's true colors in daylight.

Let's see those Pearlberrys, Red Planets, Purple Monsters, Palmers blue millis, ....you get the jist.

Yep, this tank was lit by 8x80w ATI

Aquamarine Jewel is a beauty!

That will do it! When I switched to all T5s is when my corals true colors came out.

Yeah, I'm a T5 fanatic. I've been using the ATI sun power fixtures for the last 12 years or so and will never go to anything else.

Amazing, and some great pieces in there!

Bump. My current tank is up and running with Halides. Looking for some good recommendations.

Two of my newer pick ups that are quickly becoming favorites and look great under 'daylight' are Reefgen Blueberry Fantasy and RRC Rainbow Splice. I waited on the splice until I could find a frag at a reasonable price, but man that thing is BRIGHT. Easily one of the brightest colored corals I've seen and worth every penny.

Here’s Reefgen Blueberry Fantasy. It’s always impossible to capture the true color of blue corals but this one really pops.

This is one of my favorite pieces, and one of the few Tenuis that really look good in whiter light. RR OP.. not sure if this is the same as SCOP? This one never gets those pinkish colors you sometimes will see in the sexy corals piece.
