Nice I think mine came with a 17k and 20k but could be wrong.
Are you just taking pix and posting or correcting white balance or anything else? I feel like I got it close correcting a cpl things. Wish I would have remembered which lens I used and what those corrections where haha.
I tried stacking my lenses as well but just made things worse.

No corrections just photos.

The only thing I have issues with are pink colors.
But still don’t correct

And I only use the stack method

Fake pictures shplam lol I give up until I get right filter combo. Honestly building a photo booth rack up front is going to be closer than any filter and that's what im abouts to do here soon. Maybe when by time Frank get lights hung idk haha.

So I've been dosing All for reef.
Alk 9.0 today. Really hoping its maintaining cal and mag a bit higher but ill know tomorrow when I have things checked out and confirmed.
There was something about those higher numbers my salt mixed to that my shrooms loved and ill get to the bottom of which one I promise. Starting to feel like it was the magnesium at 1500 though;) All good i got a bottle of powder I can whip up just in case:D

Things are looking lovely. Feel like Nitrates and Phosphates will also be top priority. I am still feeding heavy and dosing both.
Idk if its the lighting, the way im seeing them now or the lower nutrients but some don't look as colorful to me for some reason!

Quick update.
Dosing 15ml A4R/day seems to be keeping me pretty locked in at 9dkh.
Yesterday 9.0
Today 8.9
Dosed another 15ml today to see if this is my required dosage for the day. I can always bump it back a tiny bit if not all good but feel like I'm getting a pretty good feel for what to expect and what I'll need to do moving forward!

One thing I've noticed especially today is shrooms are pretty laid out and flowing nicely. Almost like more relaxed and settled into the new tank and parameters. Quite a few are lifting skirts a bit. Idk but I'm liking what im seeing. Also the rose corals are out full effect at all times now.

Notice the shrooms on edges laid out.
Pushing around 25 par on edges and they are loving it:D Anything more they hate my guts haha. One of them is candy crush which is interesting.

What color is that?
The rose color is almost translucent but I'm interested to see if they color up any now that they appear to be happy they where in sump for a solid year with hardly any light.
The other one is a flouresecent green on cap and tips.
What kind of coral is that guy again?
