I really enjoy my tank on weekend mornings. I open up the blinds and flood the room and tank with natural sunlight for a while. It seems like everything comes to life.

You also get IMO some of the best pictures with great natural colors.

Very nice! I run my tank as close to natural sunlight as I can. I much prefer the look to the blue lights even if the coral don't pop as much. That is what the sunrise and sunset is for!

I’m slowly making lighting changes to get as close to natural as possible. It seems somewhere between 12-14K is about right for my eyes

A couple more

Hey Bud!

That is a red lined cardinal. I got a trio off of DD.

Very differ from PJs and banghaii cardinals in that they are all over the tank and out in the open.

2 have paired up and spawn. The other good thing about these are they don’t kill the 3rd wheel

Just placed an order with @Monterey Bay Coral
I was super happy with my first order from them.
I’m off Thursday so I figured why not have some corals delivered!

Your little barnacle babies are adorable!

@mta_morrow - Will these lights fit on a 5FT Tank or will I need more lighting- specs are 60x24x24''

 

[mta_morrow]

Yes they will

My tank is just over 59”

 

[Ultra Aquatics]

Tank has progressed nicely! Following along

 

[mta_morrow]

Thanks James, and thanks for following along!

Stay tuned, new additions arriving tomorrow!

I’m sitting in my tank room with my left eye on the tank, right eye on the driveway!
