Fish selection is important. With the right choices the risk is minimal. I haven't had a cover on any tank, FW or SW, in many years.

yeah, they don't suck. Hopefully I can get the lights adjusted and not murder them.
Right now I have it set at a peak intensity of 30% white, 40% blue, 50% royal blue. and all the frags are on the bottom of the tank for now.
The darth mauls are starting to open... just a couple more polyps to open and my whole order will be alive.

Looks beyond awesome Justin
I'm always surprised on how small some corals are, the individual pictures make them look so large

Yup. Long way to go before the tank is filled in. I ordered some more cool zoas last night.

Hey Justin, why kind of camera do you use for your pictures? They are gorgeous!

if you don't mind me asking how much did the lense cost you? I have the same camera. I assume you use a custom white balance as well? some specifics on your settings would be helpful. I just got my leds and I can't get a good picture for the life of me now.

Yes custom white balance. I wrote up an article about how I take reef macro photography. It is on the front page of the site.
I think the lens was around 4 or 5 hundred.

Not sure if I am going to put any fish in the tank. Maybe a goby.

They are working out well. Been very busy lately with work so not much more has been added but the zoas that are in are multiplying.
