Very nice

[alex leblanc]

Nice pic!

[nige]

very nice and people will try and tell you that you wont get colour in a scrubbed tank.

[kerry]

Awesome pics!!

[kotlec]

Thanks !
Colors still has to be better though. Green and pink are almost at their best, but red and blue tints very week (brownish).

[Doompie]

Thanks for these pics! Amazing!

[kotlec]

Thanks for thanks
:D

It's a polyp invasion :)

[kodiak66]

Nice!

[sklywag]

Looks good. I'm convinced more than half(if not way more) of pictures we see are photoshop or under unreal light.

[kerry]

I like to see the corals pics with all the tank (white) lights on along with the blues. I will say that one can get some spectacular photos with just the blues on!!!!

[kotlec]

Now I moved stuff to new tank. Light is much more powerful. I thing new pictures will be even better color-vise. At least they looks better to the eye.
I use photoshop to adjust exposure , crop and resize . Sometimes white balance needs to be adjusted also as LEDs makes pictures too blue on camera.

Kerry, those are pictures under all lights on. whites 100% blues 100%. I used blue with white 2:1. For new tank I added 2 reds, 2 greens, 4 violets. Whites are 50/50 CW with NW. Ill try to make few shots for comparison.


P.S. Just looked over pictures once more and they are not White Balance adjusted. Looks a bit too blue than in real life.

Just took 1 special picture for sklywag. Croped and resized. Not even opened PS. Enjoy. (sorry for slightly off focus )

For Kerrys information : lights where at sunset phase. White 50% Blue 65%

[kerry]

Those didnt look like all blue. You know when they are under all blue because the sand, rocks, and lighter color objects are all blue as well. I run less blue then most folks do, I run about 20-25% blues.

[kotlec]

One more

Blue acro today looks unhappy. Probably alkalinity was elevated too fast.

[Doompie]

Just amazing looking colors kotlec!
What you do too keep them like that?

[kotlec]

Run ATS ! :D
Really nothing unusual.

[sklywag]

Nice. I wasn't insinuating(?) you used too much blue or photoshopped. But I think you know I wasn't.

I like that. Just run an ATS. Nothing unusual. Well not here anyway. Any other site it would be unusual.

[kotlec]

:D

Not a macro but still ....

Great shots. Love frogspawn. That beauty of a coral is what got me into reef keeping and pictures like that are the reason.

[Marlon904]

Kotlec, what type of lights are you using?

[kotlec]

I have DIY leds. This fixture made of many different colors of leds: warm , neutral, cool whites. Royal blues , cyano, red, green and pink . Not royal blue+ cool white like many others.
