After looking at the tank with just actinic lights on I noticed my rainbow brite and aware wolf just jump out at you. Both are highly underrated for what he's asking. What's your battlecoral that pops when looking at your tank?

Rainbow brite is center middle just below the new rock. Sorry the pic is horrible. Camera phone with amber filter. I wish I knew how to take better pics. The picture doesn't do justice for it.

Rainbow brite is killer! Here's mine when I got it. Need to get some updated pic's. It never really encrusted the plug for me but has been growing branches and doing well in my tank.

Wow you have some sick looking frags. How do you take such good pictures.

No magic here. Radions were mostly blue at the time, and I used an iphone 7, poly lab filter with the macro lense screwed on top. The macro lense really only works well when the frags are near the glass. Anything further back in the tank is hard to focus.

Rainbow brite has always reminded me of a Walt Disney in daylight pics. This is the first time I’ve seen it under actinic and kinda confirms that for me.

Thanks for the tip man. I didn't know you could get such good pics with a phone. I just ordered the same one.

It's really old one. The Dales has been in the hobby a long time now. I love when the white coloration come out in it. A really under appreciated purple for sure. Yours looks great!

Yes yours looks really good. I have one as well but mine is quite Paul. I think mine is a combination of high light and low nutrients. What lights do you have yours under and what is your p03 p04 at?
