Some camera's can change white balance, that will do it. If not, try taking it in night mode, or a few different modes until one works.

Tank looks great so far, will be good to see it as it grows

The main reason float's fail on people is because of salt or algae build up on the seal. They only use the weight of the hanging float to seal, so it doesn't take much. Make sure it's somewhere...

That's a LOT of critters. IMO i'd stay away from hermits. I will never put them in my tank again. I have only 2 snails alive now since the hermits will pick off any that come down from the glass. ...

It's not really the mj1200 with not enough flow, if you look at the inlet of the reactor it's a VERY small opening, there's a spot in there where it's down to 1/4". I went to a 550 thinking that...

THere's a 200gal on RC with them, Beeker's. He's got 16, they look pretty spot-lightish in the first few pics, but later he blends them well and has some SPS growing.
