Dive Photos - Grand Turk, St. Maarten
Just a few shots from my recent caribbean vacation...Inspiration for what I want my tank to look like.
Food for thought. None of these corals look this nice when you are seeing them with natural light at 50' depth. The red light just doesn't get down to this depth. It's not until my strobe lights them up that you see their colours. Does the lack of light actually contribute to the colours? Could it be that we should be reducing the light we give our reefs, except for viewing time?

Groovy!!!!
Very nice pictures. As far as the colours, if you notice in the Carribean, most of the really bright colours are the coraline and sponges that don't need or want a lot of light. So if that is what someone has those in their tank then yes the bright lights are for viewing purposes only. However much of the sps we keep need extra light to encourage the bright colours. So to address your question, it depends on what we are keeping. Oh man I love diving, it is a whole other world. Those pictures turned out great. What camera were you using? Thanks for sharing.
