I no longer have actinics on any of my tanks so I'll just have to enjoy yours

Those corals really stand out with the actinics. Nice pics.

Very cool!

It is time for me to upgrade my actinics. Currently mine are Giesemann T5 Pure Actinic (420nm). To get more flourescence I am looking at going with Geiseman Actinic+ (450nm). Would I get colours like yours?

What tubes are you using?

sharing. I have to ask as well what light's are you using? We want, need, have to
know now!!!!!

Thanks for the kind replies everyone.
Nothing special with the actinic bulbs. These corals are in my Oceanic BioCube 14 which uses a standard Coralife 24w actinic.
The important factor here is the Canon camera and EFS 17-85mm lens, and a longer exposure time. This camera will make anything look good
