Natural light, natural colors. They look great to me. I also like the Purple Tang and the Clown Trigger that occupy the greenhouse vats. Very healthy looking. You're doin something right. Keep it up. I'm looking to start up something soon, I may have to PM you for some info. Mine will be indoor though.

And I guess you don't need to worry about too much humidity in there, either!

You want to see what kind of growth he has gotten in the last 3 days?

Not to be a sour sammy, but those colors dont look too impressive to me? Im by no means saying that a green house cant grow Acros, but based soley on looking at those pictures I would not be convinced that I can get the same colors. Some corals still look pretty brown to me, though having no actinics may have something to do with that....

IMO that's very impressive for going with natural sunlight! Great work!

Horace I understand your opinion but i am showing natural colors. With indoor lighting you can color them up however you want

How do you handle the cooling? I would imagine it can get pretty stifling in a greenhouse non?

I know my garden deck pond reached 30 degrees this summer, and I live in ireland! Didn't seem to bother the KOI though.

Later

Yeah the color also depends on what part of the world you live in. Go check out the tanks at the Waikiki aquarium in Honolulu during daylight since they run natural light on most of their tanks (unless its cloudy out).

That's pretty cool, I don't think I could pull that off up here in Jersey!
