Nice! It's always fun to explore another aspect of the hobby. Did you use a top down porthole to take the shots? I think getting one of those instead of shooting through the glass helped me a lot in taking clear photos.

that is thru the glass on my 29g. It’s a fun thing to explore and do. Do you have recommendation for the top down photos? I got a photo booth 3D printed to take pictures of the corals. It’s on an angle to make it easier

I do like the G5 blues, so far all the corals have done well. The main difference I've noticed is the spread and intensity of the lights. A lot more light than the g4s and much more spread as well.

I think GFPs cause corals to "grafts" but I could be wrong about this.

I use a calcium reactor to maintain my parameters and test about three times a week. After setting up my calcium reactor and dialing that in it was pretty much set and forget!

It's been awhile since I've had any free time to post. But since finals are over it's time to relax.
