Thanks! That's the actinics only shots... Makes things crazy though I like to view my tank under 14k mostly. Its fun to play with it in occasion though.

I own the FarmerTy garage fish room. [emoji16] No store... I'm just a hobbyist with a real big addiction problem. [emoji53]

That's all actinic shine there but honestly, it looks pretty crazy under 14k too.

Do you have a picture of it under your daylights? That does look insane in that picture.

I got it from Diesel before he shut down with acros. I honestly think it looks nothing like the RR picture... That one looks like a mille. But I know Diesel knows his acros so... I'm perplexed. [emoji53]

I found this online.....

Exactly! Oops, it looks like a tenuis... Not mille.

Here's Diesel's colony:

Some actinic shots and 14k white light shots to compare of the same coral.

Photo dump weekend with the new lens. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekends!

Those pics are just beyond awesome. I think I may have found my problem. I think I have pathogenic bacteria from the large coral lost at one time. Coral frags are being nipped by a fish or something allowing infection in which kills the coral from the tip down. I have Fritz turbo start in a reactor to add non-pathogenic bacteria to hopefully out compete the pathogenic bacteria. Fingers crossed. Cause I wanna grow up to be just like @FarmerTy when I grow up. LOL

Keep fighting the good fight! I've had my share of acro issues over the year. You win out with a never-quit attitude and some dumb luck.... Okay, maybe that last part was mostly how I won out but... Either way, keep at it and thanks for tuning in!

Great pics! Corals look happy. I like your photos because they’re very natural (not too much blue, not washed out).

Thanks sawdonkey! I try to do what I can to capture their look as I see them in person. Makes me happy there are those out there that appreciate it. [emoji106][emoji106]
