So I noticed you're doing both Kalk and 2 part. What do you do to keep your alk from skyrocketing? I assume water changes with low alk salt?

I run just enough of both to keep alk stable at 10 and calcium at 450.

Usually a Sony DSLR with an Avast lens tube, but I also use a Galaxy S6 quite a bit.

Under expose then correct in your camera's editing options using first the contrast control and then the brightness control if need be. Helps to preserve a lot of the detail in the brightest highlights of the coral and gives you those nice dark blacks.

This may be a stupid question but how do you keep your acans so fluffy. I'm sure when you take pictures they look 100% but one of my colonies will look like yours while the other, not so much. Is this normal?
