Beautiful tank, excellent aquascaping, great pictures. Hope to have a chance seeing your tank personally one day.

Could you share with us more details of your system and equipments?

Also, what kind of camera are you using?

Thanks Jackson, it looks a little brighter in person too. I think it might have to do with less blue light though rather than more par.

Thanks Dickenscd, I'd be glad to show it to you. The Skimmer is a reeflo orca 250. Everything is plumbed through the basement. I dose 2 part via a aquacontroller 3.
I dose Vodka and Mb7 daily.
I just purchased a Canon rebel, most of the pics are with a 100mm macro lens.

Thanks Skimacka!

Nice tank..

Why did you switch from MH to T5? Everything looked nice and growth was good under the MH..

Thanks Scarf

Cali, I thought I'd get a little better color and save some $ on electricity. So far my tank temps are down and I haven't seen my chiller go on.

How many T5 bulbs are in the ATI fixture? Let us know how the T5 works in 5 months or so please.
