          Brion, awesome results so far.. I will be heading over that way before to long to see the new CO and I hope to be able to see your setup and also ISU's. Let me know I will clip some frags before I head that way also for a little trade.

          Thanks for the awesome shots, Jeff

              Is it me or did the first comparison actually lose color? The first one looked much more green to me where the second looks to have turned very white... The rest look pretty sweet though!

                the before picture had absolutely no purple on the tips.. and was much darker than now polyps are still very bright green,... zeovit lightens the corals and enhances the colors.. trust me that corals color has improved ten fold.

                    Brion VERY nice coloration...
                    ... i don't want to be rude, but to me it looks like "after" pictures are taken with more actinic light and above the water... from that angle colors look better right?
                    I don't disagree with your pics, i think that that first pic shows best what progress you have!!
                    Keep up the good work.

                      The lights in the first pictures was 10K .. the after pictures were under 14k.. i've only had the 14K bulbs on for about a week now so not really a lot of change happening since then.. the corals were becoming lighter and more vibrant before the switch off... just wanted to see what i could do with a higher kelvin. Corals don't necessarily look better from above.. It was the first time i figured out how to take pictures of my corals from above without a glare so i was pretty stoked and had to post them!
                      The coral in the first pic actually looks better through the front of the glass but every time i take a picture of it that way it washes out the purple... can't figure it out except that i need a new camera.. the sony cybershot just ain't enough... anyway... thanks for the responses everyone.

                        I have seen them in person. He sucks at taking pictures, and this is no lie as he said.

                        He has just a basic point and shoot digital, no WB adjustments that are worth a poo.

                        His pics are sad compared to the actual colors (no offence Brian) .

                        I will get out there and take some pics for you B so we can get some real ideas of how killer they are. Gary and I had a great time out there, Jeff is going to visit soon so I will bring him out there, but I want steak again ..
