Sweet Direct Natural Sunlight Acan Pics!!!

Whatup Reef2Reef!

I took these pics while moving warehouses. The one we moved to was right across the parking lot. While my friends carried these corals over, I snapped some quick natural sunlight pics in only 2" of water. You don't see direct natural sunlight pics often :xd:

Enjoy!!!!

This one wasnt open but you can see the skeleton growing on the acrylic. I've had this piece for over 18 months and never cut it. I got it as just 3 polyps.

It was pretty cold out and they were only in a few gallons of water so I made it quick :wink:

Very nice Kris! love how much the sunlight really just highlights the details- also like how it shows how orange 'natural' light really is, nowhere near the 10k we've all come to associate with natural

Thanks guys :) I will get some pics of the setup eventually lol when everything is organized and cleaned up. I really like the colors under the natural light but its not like these color pigments are adapted to the natural sunlight. I wonder how much they would change if just given natural sun. I can't wait til I have a greenhouse :)

Thank you! I also think natural sunlight has healing properties for the corals. Something about the real-thing sun. So much fake sun nowadays lol.
