20g BB LED Reef Pics

Here are the basics on the tank. The lighting is a 20K 7 LED PAR38
The circulation is provided by 2 koralia nano's (1 smaller and 1 larger). I have an ATO on the tank as well. I currently do not dose anything or run a skimmer. I do water changes once or twice a week. Tank is a couple months old, most things came out of my 10g which ran for about 5 months. I do plan to add a hang on skimmer soon and at least one more par38 bulb. I also plan to add some auto dosing at some point as well...maybe one i get more light and start adding some stonies.

In the picture with the purple zoa's you can see about a weeks worth of detritus accumulation. I love being able to just siphon it out. Although as you can see I haven't had as much time for water changes as I would like.

It is very difficult to get good pictures under the LEDs. A lot of time the stuff looks totally different in pictures than in person, But I feel I have managed to get some fairly representational shots. Although I make no claims about picture quality.

Current Inhabitants:

Coral Banded Shrimp
Emerald Crab
Royal Gramma (In QT for ich at the moment)

Corals:
Kenya Tree
Toadstool
Neon Green Candy Cane
Neon green/yellow pollicipora
GSP
Whammin Watermelon Zoas
Nuclear Green Dragon Eye Zoas
Purple Zoas
Neon Green frogspawn
Dark Green w/ green/purple tips frogspawn
Asst. Zoas
Couple of Asst. Mushrooms
1 eye favia
Pink Chalice

Looks good! I run the same light. I also have no skimmer or sump. I definitely agree with you that the LED bulbs make the tank very hard to properly photograph.
