So did you upgrade your lighting to a mix of LED and T5's as I noticed you were asking for tips for taking photos under LEDs?

Thanks Stones!

I added 2 RB all blue one on each side of my ATI fixture for viewing purposes I like the color that the two RB gives with 2 ATI Coral + to me this is the most natural look as far as my system is concern. Unfortunately when I do take photos of the tank it they come out two blue even when I use a gray card.

So I found some info on dosing Vodka. Now I have my tank around 0.00 for NO3 and PO4 and I also use a reactor for my phosphates but I dont think its doing to much of anything right now. Would it be worth it to start looking at dosing vodka?

Thanks ashr!

Those two parameter that you mention looks good, how is the rest of your system why would you want to make a change in your current system?

Here is a quick FTS update! For the most part the system is doing okay I would have to say that the growth rate of the corals are just fine! the front island corals are now officially touching the back island corals! As per color I lost a little bit of color here and there and the most noticeable are deep green on some of the acros, and the purple seems to be on the lighter side. As per the rest of the color dark and light blue, yellow, light green they all seem to be fine. Any suggestion and or recommendation regarding how to tweak the colors of the corals is greatly appreciated!

Photos was taken under two ATI Coral+ and two Reef Brite one XHO and one normal output both are all blue. I would have to say that for viewing purposes this is the one that I like the best.

the system maintenance is as follow, 10 gallon water change weekly the skimmer and glass is also cleaned at the same time, carbon and GFO change monthly. I dose CAL & ALK around 50ml of each 4 times a day I also dose 5ml of vodka and 4 ml of coral snow daily.

Is coral snow food for the corals?
