I like what it is that I see

How do you photograph under just blue light without having your photos looking blue?
Looks so nice, hopefully you can share your tips on that.
Thanks Kevin

Very nice looking tank. I am planning to set up a 150 peninsula tank. why do you mention that you would have liked to go for a 180?

PSR he says it right in the quote, the extra foot on the length of the tank.

There's a few things I wish I had done different. A foot longer first off, more room for fish to swim and more for aquascaping and room for colonies to grow out. Mostly I wish I had installed a ghost overflow. Since this tank is set up as a peninsula the built in overflow accounts for about 6" of one side of the tank. A ghost overflow would have given that back. Also wish I wouldn't have gotten starphire glass as it scratches a little to easy for my liking.

Planning currently underway for a new build with the possibility that I might be moving in the next 6 months to 1 year.

Details are sketchy:
275g peninsula (6' long, 3' wide, 2' tall) with Synergy Reef overflow.
Tank will be in its own room and will drain into a room partitioned in the garage, into a 75g sump.
Two propagation tanks will reside in the same room (fed into the same sump) as well as a mixing station, and a wall section that will house the majority of electrical and control units in an organized manner. No more tangled mess of wires!

Oh yeah.. Looking forward to that!
I'll be living vicariously through you.

Things went down hill soon after the switch, there might have been other factors involved, but this was the only thing that was changed.

Appreciate all the kind feedback, these pics were obviously taken under actinic lighting. Time for a few daylight pics. Stay tuned...
