How do you hide your powerheads? Are they all on one side of the tank?

Can it be the bio pellets that giving those lovely colours? I must say you hace one beautiful tank. Everyone strives for the best colours and your tank has that. Ok and you doing it with just 2 x 250w metal halides.

they are not hidden at all, i wish i could make them disappear. i have 4 Korella evo 4 in the overflow side and 2 tunze 6045 and the return on the other side of the tank.

thanks for the complement zaheda!!! i would have to say the bio pellets is just one part of it, balance and stable system is the key. as per the lighting I've added 2 T5HO actinics a few months ago, and on the same note I've also reduced the MH lighting time from 8 hours to 6 hours. and the actinics only run before and after the mh. I've also seen some color improvement after the change happened.

Very beautiful job on the tank and the photos.

Jaw dropping! wow man, very inspiring stuff you have here.... not only for the way your system looks but also your camera work. I have 2 DSLR granted they are not top notch but in my hands they really are a waste! Cannon Rebel XTI and a Nikon 50D i cnat remember exact name but i can never ever get great pics like this. I do understand however that you have a nice macro lense, but my problme is focusing, and the colors... alway look washed out. I dont want to disturb your thread with my pictures but, anyways amazing buddy.... i will have to go back to your frist post to see a list of equpment also looks like i might want to go back and see if i need to start dosing a bit more as a lot of my corals are starting to get the size of yours!!!

Thanks for sharing made the day in the office calmer for me!

as per the pictures in the first page, yes a macro lense was use in the close up shots, as per the top down shots of the corals on the second page a standard lense was used, as you can see it's almost comparable. if your pictures looked washed out, i recommend trying to under expose your shots. and if you have problem with focusing try setting your ISO at about 400 to 800, a tripod goes a long way also.

I appreciate the info I will try taking some pics again, and turn off my pumps this time haha.

Thanks.

Would love to see how you have your returns set-up, I am planing a peninsula tank myself and had not thought of this option to get more flow to the other side of the tank.
