Thanks, I looked at a vid on youtube to adjust the wb.. make sure you use a white styrofoam plate and have someone hold it on an angle(leds hitting the plate) in the tank and take a picture of the plate (filling up the entire image of the plate in your pic)
then adjust to custom wb and it will ask you to use that image.. a lot of my pix came out ok, its a lot of trail and error for me.

Thanks guys, in these pix the settings were the highest of the day.. these chalices are toward the bottom and i find that a lot of them dont do well in direct led light.. i only have one that is high up and im too lazy to move it.

They look even better when the w is turned down i have 10 different setting throughout the day and it took a while to get it "perfect"
I hear the new vegas are good,

I have to tell ya man.. thats the highest point of the day for me... And I have sps on the bottom (30 inches and lights are 12 inches above water, i also have a screen cover) of my tank that are doing great.. I dont want to set it any higher untill i fill up the tank with more sps and creat a little shade for my chalices... I have no browning at all, and my sps are thriving.. I get excellent growth....
My tank is 7ft x 3 ft x 30H.. I only have 2 ai sols on each side of the tank (4 total) I have a 14 z 13 overflow box rt in the middle of the tank... I decided to get 2 more ai sold, another on each side, and 2 nanos for the space in front of and behind the box (not sure if that makes any sense, lol)

Nice, I cant wait to learn more about the vegas,, the ai's are tried and true.. I did a lot of research before getting them.. I believe the pacsun? are suppose to be insane, but didn't research yet.
I place most down low.. The mummy eyes are 5 inches above the bottom of the tank slightly away from direct lighting.. I feel that most chalice especially under LEDS should not be placed directly under them.. I also have found that they do a lot better if you place them on a slight angle. I do have a couple a quarter way up and they seem ok.. Then I have other that bleach after a few weeks directly under the LEDS but at the bottom of the tank. I think some chalice are hardier then others, Im still trying to figure it all out.
I wish I could take some more pics but I need a little more practice.. I should have the entire tank pix up here in a few weeks
