Great looking macros again. You've got some crazy PE going on in that tank and the colors of those SPS are pretty unreal.

What do you normally do to get your white balance adjusted properly? I find when taking photos of the tank I can never consistently get my white balance adjusted to show the true colors of the corals.

Thanks again. I am quite lucky so far that the corals are now growing and colouring up. I would have to say that this set up is now 1 yr old and it has had a few set backs too. I am currently having a war against cyano and I may want to add more flow in the back and I am thinking that the biopellets may be the culprit to the cyano as I added biopellets over gfo six months ago... May consider adding gfo back now if I cannot beat e cyano with Zeozym and coral snow.

As for the white balance, I am just shooting with AWB with my Canon 5D mark iii. It seems to work fine (new processor?) however, with my prev Canon I usually set it to 10000K.
