Finally got a decent actinic picture! Thanks to Chris (Gadgets) for helping me with this.

Sand bed is full as I am trying to color up some frags.

Of course the pic is not very sharp, but I will do a FTS with full lighting tomorrow.

The worst thing I hate about taking FTS is the fact that you can't really see the depth and true aquascape of the rock.

Like this for example:

The rock outlined in white is actually behind the main rock structure at the end of a little ally like an island.

The orange lines are where the rock is actually almost like a half circle and in the inside is logoon like.

The red line is where actually there is no rock at all. On the left there is the rock island and on the right an island. To the back from the red line is open sand back to the rock island circled in white.

Then all behind the main rock structure is open sand.

I just need to do an HD video! LOL!

I love the way tanks look w/ just actinics on. Wish I had a camera that could capture the moment better!

Looks great Rev, I think you should do the Video so we can get that like were diving your tank feel. I set a rimless 59 gal and the rocks are similar and photos don't capture the depth very well for some reason, At least my cheap one don't.
Are you going to the Knoxville swap this year? Been thinking I may miss It this time around but we'll see. If so See you there. Great tank BTW

Awesome! I have some blue stunner LEDs that make my corals pop like yours, but I only have a point and shoot and don't know how to take a better pic of everything. I love the colors on your corals, very nice!

Thank you everyone! To hear you all say you like it makes it ALL worth it. Normal people can't understand and can't "enjoy" a reef tank like a reefer!
