I did 4 Blue+, 3 Coral+ and one Purple+, I am pretty happy but I think next time I might trade out the P+ for a True Actinic just so the corals have a bit more pop to them

The fixture covers the entire top, I think it is 36X17

That's on my list with a avast marine porthole for top down shots. Here's two of my pics as I'm new to the dslr world as well so learning yet also. I shot it raw and it's unedited point shoot n loaded they're not too bad.

Well the battle of the bubble algae rages on, I had to take a piece of rock out that had way too many bubbles to control. So once the rock is nice and dead I am going to clean it up and add it back. Will be getting a cleaner pack from LA soon and might start running some carbon too.

Well despite my best efforts the algae has now spread to the entire tank -__-, Any suggestions on how to fight it? The main problem is that the bubbles are so small that i can't get to or even find them all.
