Bad actinic pic

[coral88]

Sorry about the bad picture. I can't get my digital camera to focus with the actinic light. I put these in my new frag tank because they were some of my least impressive zoas, so I thought I would use them to test the waters. In the tank they were in before (50/50 NO T5s and 50/50 CFs) they had sort of a peachy orange center, and sort of green skirt. After putting them in the frag tank, (10K MHs VHO Super Actinics) they look completely different. I think the super actinics are making the color come out, and I like it. I will post another pic tomorrow with the halides on.

Ok, first pic with just halides, 2nd pic 10K MH and super actinics, last pic just actinic. The color in these zoas seems like it's changing. After about 3 days under the new lights, the brown ring around the orange center started to have lines and patterns as you can see in the pics. Wish I had a pic before the new lights.

Does anybody have before and after pics of zoas that have changed colors for the better?
