x2Are you happy with them? That is all that matters. You could probably get deeper colors if you wanted, or even more contrast with lighter tips... but nobody can say that you will like the colors better.
Only way to get better colors is to buy a better camera!
tank is a red sea reefer 350 with a addition 30 gallon frag tank plumbed into itHow about sharing your system info so others can learn from you? Lighting type and schedule, params, salt brand, etc.. I agree with the group, it all looks good. Keep on keeping on.
In my experience lower nutrient tends to bring out more color.Hey thanks! The more we all share and learn the better. I'm a little surprised the colors are so rich with those nutrient levels, but obviously your getting good results.
Maybe we are saying the same thing. I was saying like 2-5 nitrate and .03-.05 phosphate. Not ULNS, but still what I’d call lower. I guess I should have defined lower.I think we've seen the trend of ULNS tanks shift. I agree that very low nutrient tanks have colorful acro's but have seen that a lot of people are getting deeper, richer coloration by not starving their corals. I'm not talking the "color" displayed but rather the "richness, depth" of the color. Your compatriot to the southwest is an example. His tanks are anything but ULNS and his colors are popping. Andrew out of Australia is another example as well as some Canadian friends. I only get that saturation when I keep nitrates above 7 and phosphates over .07. I'm no expert so just my .02.
thanks however I have found better growth with lower nitrates and phosphatesMaybe we are saying the same thing. I was saying like 2-5 nitrate and .03-.05 phosphate. Not ULNS, but still what I’d call lower. I guess I should have defined lower.
