last week i moved my suncoral (tubastrea faulkneri) from the reef to my 50 Liter NPS column. Here i can can feed a higher concentration of food without completely ruining my water parameter in my reef tank.

it not as full on polyps as before, but still has all polyps intact

[JohnnyBoyPerth]

Fantastic shots! A tank to be very proud of and so glad you are sharing the images

I'm interested in what settings you take the photos with and any editing you do.

I have a canon slr and would love to replicate the colour you can see plus the huge depth of field.

Thanks

I use the "P" setting for corals. With flash disabled. I also use the manual white balance shift and bracket function and manual focus for some shots.

For fish i use sport the settings.

deep purple acropora Valida, grown from a small piece that can't even be called a frag.

[jacky.l]

Amazing tank, very natural, what is the size of the tank？ if there is no introduction.

[2_zoa]

Super nice and that's a crazy list!! Please keep sharing your tank. Would you mind re posting your feeding regimen? I think that was in your other thread.

Also, would you mind giving a little insight on the topic of phosphate in a thread I have going?
