Depends. Are you using Lightroom, Aperture or Photoshop?

ya, you're probably right. I guess I'll just have to live with my sucky sub par (no pun intended) lighting for the time being.. (ie, I'm just not cool enough)

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure what the answer to this question is. I just do the usual. Water changes (every 2 weeks), skimmer, lighting (MH+T5), GFO+Carbon, BioPellets, Alk and Calc on a doser. Top down photos help too

You're looking at my frag tank. All 150g of it Seriously though, it's amazing and cool to see how some frags can take off like a rocket, while others pretty much do squat.

With the frags colouring up like that I can't imagine there is anything "sub-par" about those lights at all.

What is that last one? The colour of it in the Jan 20 shot is giving me goose bumps.

ok then...

Perchance do you recall what vendor or hobbyist you acquired it from, so that I might attempt to inquire about availability of any others? Please and thank you.

So Kien, no fancy Zeovit reactor and additives? LOL

I am using LightRoom but cannot get such a nice coloration. But I am working I need a BioPellets reactor now
