Something tells me you already can. I just got lucky with the shot. I am relearning photography from my college years. Getting the color right in a reef tank is a pain especially for blue corals.

Today’s picture of the tank taken on my iPhone. I used the Orphek filters. Notice all of the frags. I counted 39 this morning. Now I just need to have them grow and color up which is of coarse like watching paint dry. Lol.

Thank you. It helps a great deal that I am working from home and get to tinker with it during breaks. Between the tanks, camera and now 3D printing it is hobby central these days. LOL

Great system! Decided when I upgrade it will be a cda or coast2coast. C2C is an hour away so leaning that direction.
Dream of mine to have powder blue and brown. Hope it works for you in the long run.

Well, the brown won. At least I was able to put in a purple using the old mirror trick.

I was going through my pictures and realized I did not post my @Battlecorals order. They are all doing nice and settling in. Some of them lost some color, but that is to be expected. All and all a very positive experience. There are some pics of the delivery.

Great collection! I would be interested in seeing the progression of color as they heal. Often people won’t take pics until they are all healed.

OK, I will try to use my new Macro and see if I can capture how they look. Also, I left the selection to Adam and he came through with a nice variety. I am kind of excited about backdraft and bonfire.

That tank is making me consider going bare bottom. Looks AWESOME!!!Today’s picture of the tank taken on my iPhone. I used the Orphek filters. Notice all of the frags. I counted 39 this morning. Now I just need to have them grow and color up which is of coarse like watching paint dry. Lol.

This is my 1st tank going bare bottom. So far I love it. Cleaning the tank is so much easier. I also have a ton of flow keeping everything suspended so it can be filtered out of the return. Since I have a star board reinforced bottom, the coralline algae took hold real easy. Now the bottom is almost all purple.

Great build. I'm considering a tank from CDA. How are they in terms of communications? and what's the best way to reach them for discussing build options and pricing?
