Thank you sir! I'm sure your piece will grow out more reds fast!

You know its all your fault that I post so much here now :tongue: I never go on other forums anymore. Now you gotta deal with my endless barrage of questions :xd: btw, how do you manipulate your calcium/alkalinity?

It definitely shines or should I say glitters! Only thing is my LED photo... I've got to start messing with my white balance cuz they come out soooo blue. Maybe I'll work on that right now...

Such a beautiful acan collection! Love it.


I'm really just posing on a lot of other people's collections... most of my pieces are frags from other reefers here on R2R. Its easy to form a sweet collection when all of you guys do all the work!

Thanks!!!

alpha your coral looks super nice. you use LED's all the time?


I appreciate your nice words! I do not use LED's all the time. I only run them for a short amount of time as needed at night either for viewing or for feeding which I guess is still for viewing lol. All of my daytime pics have no LED's. I have never run LED's during the day. I'm thinking of starting to run some during the day. I can only imagine what my corals will look like.

:xd:

I'm going to be doing some experimenting with led's during the day in the near future. It seems like a great low wattage way to add PAR. I currently run Powerbrites to view at night. I run ATI Powermodules during the day which are very powerful I actually have only been running 2 of 6 bulbs on my chalice tank (the fixture is 36" above the tank) :xd:
