Need some advice on some spare Real Estate...

How you like me now???

Being 100% honest
This looks much better and more evenly lit. The original pics had some weird hue that was being captured on the ends of the tank. I suspect the ambient lighting was mixing with the outer parts of the light cast from the single prime. The reef lighting should dominate the tank and overpower ambient.

This newest set of pics…look REAL GOOD!

Try this

Put the tank in both blues + uv only

Take that pair of coral viewing glasses

Put one lens right in front of your phones camera

Take pic (try full tank and try close ups) and see how it comes out

Make sure all ambient light from other rolls is dimmed or off

Yes , can certainly tell a difference, im still running the Fluval strip on the very back, mostly because i run Saxby on the AIs, and they ramp up a tad later, so it's basically an early morning tank wake up with low light.

That's essentially what you are looking at, 1st pics are no orange lens, others are with it.

Maybe try some macro algae. Looks like that is where your powerhead is. My macros love the flow. And, what type of light is that?
