... some are hiding due to the change that I've made in the lighting, trying (and failing miserably :headwallblue:) to get more accurate colors in the video.

Well, I did not want to mention it, but the colours in the video do not relate to the pictures you take.
Do not understand me wrong, it looks wonderful. Only the difference is there.
I guess there is no Lightroom for videos.

I know.......:sad1::sad1::sad1:

The main problem is that for photos, I adjust the WB on my Canon reflex cam in the Custom Mode. That gives me colors very very close to real ones, that I see in the reef.
No need to correct color in the photoshop, wich I use to correct Exposition, Contrast/Brigtness, etc.
In the other hand, the cam that I used for the video is a Xiaomi 4K (Something like a Go Pro) and the WB adjusts didn't have a Custom mode.
So I've tried to change the Setup of my fixtures to avoid the blueish color in video.
Turning the blues down gave the videos a less blueish look, but the colors looked washed away...:sad2:
I've tried several adjusts, but none gave me the fidelity that I've got with the Canon.

I've tried several celphones (Asus, Motorola, Sansumg, Iphone ) and none gave me good results too....:deadhorse1::deadhorse1::deadhorse1:

Next thing to try is an ambar gel film ....

Love the video, Flow.
I just love the open spaces. Such great dimensions in your tank.
Beautiful balance.
And JJ is the perfect soundtrack.
 
I never saw any of my systems as a sps systems or even a sps dominat systems.
Of course that I've got a lot of sticks but one of my goals with this system was to acomplish a diversity of animals that I have got with the last ones. Maybe more.
I've always found this blue tuxedo urchin interesting and now the opotunity of get one, big and healthy, shows up.
I'm just a little worried about the longevity that it'll have so if you have some experience, please share.

I have a pincushion urchin in my 40 gallon that eats coralline algae. It must eat other algae too, all I know is that where it goes the rock is scraped completely clean. You can clearly see the path it has taken on the rocks throughout the day. I've had this urchin for at least 2 years.

I believe that's a tuxedo urchin. I think the behavior is similar to pincushions. Pretty sure it will have plenty to eat in your tank if my 40 gallon can sustain one for 2+ years!

You're right...it's a blue tuxedo....
2 years is a good perspective....
 
Amazing video.

How do you resit the temptation to fill all that space with rocks and ultimately lots of Acroporids? You have extraordinary self-control. I admire you.
 
Alex, I just watched the video on the last page and I'm blown away. You have done a remarkable job with this tank. Just beautiful! I love all the open space. It's something I've never had the discipline to do.

Thanks Connor...
To receive such amount of compliments from reefers like you, Matt, Bulent and many others, that have tanks that I admire, makes all my effort worthwhile.

I shot this video today, with a yellow security glasses (U$1,50 :lol2:) in the front of the cam.
The color isn't great, but I get it less blueish.

That middle clam is awesome! Isn't it a Crocea? Are you going to leave it on the sand? I thought they like being able to bore into rock.
