Todays pictures from my 75

Hello everyone. I just wanted to post and share some new pictures from today. Things are going along pretty well for the most part. Several of my SPS are just not coloring up and for some reason I just cannot get my red/orange Montipora cap to color up properly at all. It grows well but is pale.

Thanks for looking.

Looks good. You may get some feedback from others, but you could try a blue-er bulb to pop the colors or adding amino acids (Sea Chem "Reef Plus") to darken the colors.

Bravo froggy,

beautiful pictures, and beautiful tank! I really like your balance.

In fact, this is the first tank in a while that has given me a new idea for my own!

Thanks everyone for the kind words and feedback on the tank.

Kong, That means a lot as I try and keep a sense of balance with coral placement and aquascaping. I would love to hear the new idea you have come up with. Glad my tank gave a hint of inspiration for it.

Sincerely it is gorgeous. From a distance it looks like someone placed a huge garden mum in the tank.

Awesome tank, Froggy! Maybe the cap coloring up is too much light?
