My 140 sps tank

BTW, I don't photoshop any of my photos, so what you see is what you get. I seen so many vendors out there taking photos under reef brite XHO's and with a little bit of creative photoshop, corals can look unreal but obviously it will never get to that color in your tank. Just my 2 cents.

Here is my tank under xho, no photoshop just a yellow lens filter.

I'm jealous of your tank. What do you take your pictures with?

I feed vitalis sps food after lights out, cube of pe mysis in the morning and mixed pellets at night. I use Ati 8 bulb for lighting and just recently added 2 xho strips.

I use TG4 Olympus for photos but an iPhone 7 with yellow lens filter does a great job too.

Thanks so much, I am so cramped in there....it's bursting at the seams, everything is touching or killing their neighbours. I guess it's a good thing and I shouldnt be complaining about this first world problem.

Everytime i get any sps it dies pretty quick. Any tips?

Oh boy, where do I start. Do you test your parameters? Does your sps go dark when it gets in your tank than rtn or slowly dying from the bottom up? So many factors are involved pal. If there any tip off hand I would say keep your alkalinity stable. Dip all incoming corals and try to get fresh cuts to avoid pests and aefw. Shoot me some numbers and let's see what's going on in your tank.
