Here's a Bonsai that turned out nice. It might look like I post-processed my photos like crazy. But nope, the Kessils put out so much blue and white light, I only have to apply automatic white balance to all of my photos. But I do have to dial down the camera's exposure. Otherwise, the raw photo is way too bright.

To see the raw image straight from my camera, here's the link: https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...3e&oe=5548507E

I was thinking of letting the staff choose. See if my luck turns.

Yes, and I have nothing but good things to say about them all.

A couple of more photos. I think red is the color for Valentine's Day coral and I do love this coral so I'll pick this photo for the official entry. It's an encrusting Goniopora.



This photo was taken only 17 days after I installed the Kessils. This pink Bird's Nest coral was more tan than pink before installing the Kessils.
