Definitely a favorite. But if y’all could see #5 in person (or a better pic) y’all would freak out.

These are all ab+ spectrum pics with an iPhone X and an aquariclip filter. I don’t like or take all blue pics. #5 is the SBB eye candy

They all look good!
I like number 5 the most. The others look mostly the same but that’s coming from someone who is slightly bad with similar color hues.

The first set of pics all look similar? They don’t look anything alike to me. The 10k all look the same bc everything gets washed out
Number one is actually close second. I can tell it apart from the others. You mean all your corals get washed out if you put a 10k look on your fixture? Have you ever tried keeping it 10k until the corals adjust to that spectrum and color up under it?

10k looks like a freshwater tank. Fish don’t even look good in 10k. I don’t have any problems with color. I’ve sold and swapped Frags with some of the “best” high end collectors around and they’ve all asked me how I get the crazy colors.
How do people like the look of less than 18k? They have the skill to make the corals look good without needing to put makeup on them with all-blue lighting.
I see now, your pics are in a 10k like light setting. I do appreciate your pics and your corals certainly don’t have problems with color. I do find my fish look better under more natural light though. Their true colors are much more vivid and noticeable especially when there are pairs in breeding condition. If there are just a few fancy fish in a box sure blue light makes them look cool but doesn’t necessarily make all the colors show well. I feel the same way about too much blue light over acropora, these reefers are missing out (imo) on some yellow red and blue hues. Not saying they aren’t there just that some white light really goes a long way if you let the corals adjust and grow under it.
Can you tell me what the differences in pics 2-4 are and which variants they are?

I don’t use all blue lighting either and don’t need “make up”. If you walked into my house and looked down through my coral viewer my colors look exactly like my first set of pics. My full spectrum is similar to 18k and that’s what the first set of pics were taken under. Anything less than 14k (really 18k) looks ugly to me. Fish, rocks, corals, inverts all look yellow/brown in less than 14k. I’m one of the ppl that think corals and fish in the ocean look terrible compared to a reef tank.

Thanks.
