I would say not all corals color up as well as some. Some of the corals really color up well with eye popping colors. But there’s some which become duller. But we shall see in the coming mths whether or not it can color up. Might be due to nutrients. I do not know for sure. We shall see.

Hi bro,

Getting rid of red slime is one. Lol

Adding more lights is second,

slowly slowly check on progress.

Maybe add a few more corals & fishes in between to complete my stocking.

[Admiraltian]

My kind of Xmas tree. Lol

[Admiraltian]

Always nice to look from the top. One of my fav top down is from this corner. All my fav acropora are here, ssc, dragonfruit, home wreckers, Walt Disney, Superman tenuis, lime in the sky, etc 

However the biggest one in the middle I still do not know what’s it is? Any one can help??

Thanks bro.

If top down view is so much nicer wonder if there are reef tanks with SPS corals growing from the back panel instead of from the bottom panel.

Haha, maybe but then where u gonna installed ur lights? On the top of the tank or at the front panel?

[Admiraltian]

Took out my old Nikon L820 Coolpix to play yesterday. Was actually impressed by some of the functions that existed without me knowing all these yrs. Haha...

Macro shot, not perfect though.

My huge pink millie colony.

Half tank shot becos it looked more filled up here. Lol

Got some Evansi to try out. They are so nice!!

Green Millie up close.

Homwrecker? Tips really pale now. Need more colors!!Meaty lps corner.

Candlelight zoomed in. Color improved but still a wip.

Everyone’s fav now, dragonfruit.

Yellow tenuis?

My ssc pink tips are become dark red and distorted all over different branches. Spread become less even after use of led.

Here how it looked last time.

Acro Nana

Some close shots of pink millie and red prostrata.

Last shot of the day:

Still testing it. Ok bah. Have to see in the long run. So far my corals doing good.

[Admiraltian]

Thanks for the compliments, bro.

[Admiraltian]

Got some time so play with my new underwater camera that arrived just before Xmas as mentioned in a earlier post.
Some random shots:

Devil’s whip, looking pale. Too high up?

 
Trio of Evansi anthias

Dunno what sps. Suppose to be a tort but a lot of my frds says it’s not. 
Homewrecker looks good in underwater shot.

Acan lord looks extra red in it. Shd hv flip the photo ard. Lol Tight corner to take a pic cos quite near the front glass and no space to aim my camera.

Scoly in feeding mode.

Another acan, Rainbow acan.

Watermelon acan

Hot pink birdnest but the pink not really coming out. Maybe I’ve place it too low. Currently in middle area but less flow cos in between 2 boulders.

Green acan but shadow by the top of crevice.

[Admiraltian]

More pics:

The frag below homewrecker look like red planet, any bro can id? Got it from S3.

Hope this tenuis can color up to something special. 
 

 Lime in the sky but strangely the blue tips is invisible when taking a underwater shot. Must be some settings issue with lights or my camera. Anyone can advise?

Pearlberry like losing all its colors. Stressed by led?

[Admiraltian]

Added in a single tube fixture of T5HO. Brand is Helios, made in China and also ordered through Ezbuy. Let’s see if it’s help to reduce dark spots, shimmer and help to brighten up the corals on the back of my tank.

[Admiraltian]

How it looked on the tank. Planning to get another one for the front.
