Eric, I am using 5 ATi bulbs and 1 Aquascience bulb. With the addition of the ProColor and the Aquascience, the tank is crispy white with a tint of blue. The lights are about 5-6" above the water. The ProColor really helps some of the colors to "pop".
Front to Back:
ATi Blue Plus
ATi Aquablue
ATi Procolor
ATi Blue Plus
ATi Aquablue
Aquascience 15K

HTH.

Thanks Lam. On a scale of 1-10, would you say that you are running clean tank (0) or a dirty/well fed tank (10)? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to figure out my corals

Hahahaha. Funny thing was that it was running really clean until I left for 1.5 weeks overseas. When I came back the skimmer was overflowing. That was about 4 weeks before those pictures were taken. I haven't check my parameters and the only thing I have done was weekly water changes. So to answer your question, I think my tank is about a 5-6 right now. I also only have 5 fish in my tank and I feed my dendros 1-2 times a week and feed the fish daily.

Honestly I have no idea. The last time I check for anything was salinity and that was at 1.025 over 3 weeks ago. The rest of the parmeters I have absolutely no idea. I guess the corals are growing and the color seems to suit me enough where I don't find it necessary to test. I also dose B-ionic daily and have a tunze auto top off. HTH

Forest Fire Monti. The second picture of the Forest Fire was taken under 1 single ATi blue plus bulb. I can only thank Eric (Ebn) for his wonderful camera talent to capture the colors of the coral.

Only advice is leave it in one spot and do not move it. It took many months before it color up and started encrusting. HTH

how long have the corals been in your tank? what is the depth of your tank?

You are the master of acans. When are you going to post some updates of your new tank and corals?

I must say you have some absolutely beautiful frags of some awesome corals and the pictures are outstanding!

Couple questions if you don't mind.

What type of millepora are in the first shot, 2nd set? ORA blue and aquarium city red? They are stunning.

Also, what is the name of the montipora pictured in last pic of the 2nd set, the one with blue polyps?

Thanks, and once again great shots, awesome corals and thanks for sharing.
