The forum sent me an alert that I would be in trouble if I didn't post pictures of my reef here...

Here is my 75g grown under AI 52HD lights.

Oh no!!! How did that happen? Btw, your tank is beautiful.
I'm no expert, but I think it may have been because the corals looked like they were tossed onto the floor instead of being placed inside the tank. ;)

being lazy after having a child recently, reef suffered... there are probably a few reasons why, I think the main reason is that I didn't clean my algae scrubber for awhile and the light died at some point. Algae started growing over things and I think it started a chain reaction of death.

I hear that. I have two kids and they have always kept me busy. Too busy. But your tank looks like it made a nice turn around so that’s a plus.

Very nice, but please tell us how you get such good pictures of your aquarium. I have a Canon EOS and can't get pictures like that. :)

uhh.. I just used my samsung galaxy s8 on auto for most of them.. the close ups were on pro mode where I chose manual focus and adjusted the white balance until the colors looked accurate. Also tweaked the shutter time some.

We have AI lights as well. Will have to check our settings. Have 4 on 300gal. 6 foot tank, but my watermelon bt anemone never looks good. He placed himself on the far left side of the tank and I don’t want to injure it moving it. Is secured nicely and always reaching for the natural sunlight on that side of tank from our patio door. His tentacles look short so I target feed krill once a week. My 4 clowns do not host.
It was small when we got it about silver dollar size. After I feed it, it’s tentacles bubble. What do you think? I asked because yours looks so beautiful and healthy. Our 300gal reef is 6months old but most rocks and coral and fish were moved from a 75 gal reef 3 yrs old and 90gal fish only. Thank you for any suggestions.
