A few new pictures under LEDS

I've had my Maxspect fixture for a few months now and could not be happier. The colors are really starting to pop. Some corals had colors I didn't know were there.

Thanks. I need to re-set the white balance on the cheapo camera. A couple things seem a tad oversaturated.

Very nice and stunning!
I'm looking to replace my MH and was thinking of going with the Evolution LED Light Reef Aquarium 120 3G.

It came with 9 of them I think. I have replaced 6 of them with reds and royal blues. I just about have the color I want.

I am approaching 3:1 blues to whites but I have 3 reds that seem to really help
