Wow some beautiful corals and good skills with the camera.
It will be nice seeing the growth.

Just want to post an update to keep track of the progress. Growth rate is not so great but I’m glad the tank is stable. Sorry for the bad iphone photo

Great looking tank! Do you have any updates?!

crownsbroyal · Sep 14, 2020

Looks great, can you post a full tank shot?

Kevinkmk · Sep 14, 2020

I will try a full tank shot later. Here is some new pictures (R2r only take small image) and I took with my new camera.

Amazing! Can you give a quick update of your parameters now unless they're still the same as originally? Also wondering what kind of camera you're using, these photo's look great to me.

Everything is pretty much the same beside dropped the alk to around 7.5. The camera I used is canon m50.

Hey guys, is there an easy way to upload high resolution pictures in r2r?

Thanks for posting. Unbelievably nice! What type of lights do you have on this tank? I also have a reefer350 and struggle with getting great par spread with my 2 radion g4 pros (with diffusers) on the rms pounts.

Im thinking of upgrading to two xr15 g5 blue for the led. Currently, I’m using 3 hydra 26hd with aquaticlife t5 hybrid plus one orphek or2 blue plus.
