The other thread that was locked due to the inane comments of some of the 'esteemed' members here had the water params. Search if you are so inclined. Everything pretty much looks brown in these pics but I promise the tank is super vibrant looking which is why I was hesitant to post pics, my camera isn't as good as the human eye. Also, some of the pics show microbubbles from the skimmer.
Thanks
