Yeah the only crappy part of the fixture is bulb change time. The par reading from this fixture even with 8 month old tubes is still way better than the led fixtures we have.

I disagree, you have some pretty nice skills there buddy! That's the thing with shooting, you can take 1000's of photos and maybe have 10-15 that are just amazing while the rest don't make the cut. Are you using a tripod? I find that works wonders for the FTS.

Not sure if you edited it yet but a quick run through photo shop never hurts, It's really difficult to make all the colors work especially when your shooting through glass.

I have the tri pod and use it... I don't edit any of my photos I find they look to phoney when there edited.

There's a really fine line and it's incredibly hard to not cross it, finding the balance between washed out and over the top is tricky that's for sure! Regular photos never seem to capture the color of my corals though, a quick run through PS helps but I agree the photos do come out looking a tad bit fake.

Time to pull out the under water camera :razz:!

While your previous photos were more psychedelic I'm enjoying your newer ones much more. Maybe it's the LEDs or your processing but they seem truer to life yet still very colorful.
