Last week I took my canopy down and replaced all my T5 bulbs. Snapped some top down pics while it was off.

It’s crazy to see these colonies from top down. I didn’t even realize how big they are. They are def outgrowing the tank. I’m gunna buy a hand saw and try to cut bigger pieces, cuz my fish are running out of room to swim. Hahaha

WOW!!! That is amazing! So cool to see colonies that large. Are you having to feel a lot to keep the colonies colorful?

Awesome man thanks for taking some top downs! Beautiful growth forms on these corals as well. No funny branching or wired growth anywhere, everything’s just crazy nice. Should give a lot of people something to aspire too.

How often are you changing out your T5 bulbs? I asked in the past but what photo period are you running these days?
