Marvin's Coral Contest Update #1

[nivram]

My tank is a 240g cube. Currently lit by 4 Dimmable onyx led fixtures. I run a sump with skimmer, no refugium. I also run a calcium reactor, gfo and carbon in reactors as needed.

Below are my (crappy iPhone) pics:

Do you do any processing of the pics? Your phone pics look better than my camera pics!

Sometimes. Lately I've been using Lightroom app. But I often use Camera+ and then tweak the color, wb, etc.

My tank is not low iron and I'm just often not that motivated to break out the dslr these days.

Also a little trick I use is to turn my whites to 100%. My iPhone will always add blue to white LEDs. So I use this to my advantage.

So you turn off blue and just crank the whites? I agree iPhone adds a TON of blue to pics. It's too hard for me to mess with my lights (not on fusion) so I usually wait until it's at the "whitest" part of the schedule to take pics. I'll look up the Lightroom app, thanks....

Yeah. Crank the whites up. If my blues are on a low percentage. I usually leave them on. I think if I leave blues at 100 with whites. Sometimes it's too blue.

Love the depth of that tank Marvin. I KNOW I wouldnt reach the back of the thing even if I wanted too.
