Hey Nick, welcome to acro anonymous.
Your addiction serves you well!
Beautiful corals! Looking super healthy!
Nice job.
Don't get well, stay addicted!!!
How long has the tank been running and do you use any supplements?
Also, what camera and do you use a gel filter?

Thanks guys,
Andrew: that is indeed a Walt Disney.
Andreas: thanks brother.
Matt: I am planning on it. The tank have been set up since last August. Some of the corals I've had for over 5 years . Besides the calcium reactor, I dose kalk at night, very rarely I throw a pinch of reef roids in or elos aminos, depends on whether I'm low on phosphates or nitrates. Sometimes I dose kno3, and add potassium because it's always low.
As for the camera I use my iPhone 6s and j use red filter mostly when I take the picture under the blue lights. I got bunch of orange filters but those make everything look yellow.

I'm always up for some trading sir. I have been looking for a big boy camera, so I will definitely need your help pretty soon.

I think you're talking about the rainbow tenuis. Should probably come up with some outlandish name for it haha.

My Reef Tank

A little beach bum action, yeah I know it looks like kum pao but it's getting that peachy color finally.
This thing is absolutely gorgeous, tiny but gorgeous, that pink orange body, bright bright yellow polyps. Kind of looks like asd rainbow milli but not exactly.

Well and the ASD rainbow milli under blues

That, Sir, is an incredible FTS. Looks like a shelf in an old fashion candy store. I look forward to watching your reef mature and fill in.

Too bad you don't know how to make your corals color up nicely. Beautiful tank.
