Yeap. This tank is running on Zeovit system. Po4 is still hovering around 0.04 due to heavy feeding to keep my Dispar Anthias back in shape.

Ok, still able to get zeovit products in sg?

I got mine from Malaysia..

Thanks for your kind comment. Basically I want it to be clean setup and easy on long term maintenance. I have box trunking on the top part (inside) of the cabinet to hide all the cables. This tank is about 2 months old but planning and setup took about 10 months.

You have get the white balance right. What camera are you using?

The last 2 pictures are taken using Samsung S2. The first 3 pictures are taken using Sony Alpha SLT a55 + 16-105mm. I tried to play around with WB but still can't capture the actual color :(

Move the WB to 10K (or higher if your camera allows it) to get a truer representation of coral colours.

Also, utilize a free photo editing software tool like Picasa or a commercial one like Photoshop Elements to obtain those actual colours and also to get rid of a washed out look.

Will give it a try..My camera manual WB can set up to 9999 but I still can't get the color right. I will look up the guide book and see whether I can tweak it further

Just gotten this over the week from Joe @ Iwarna. Color was great at his place but now slightly pale. Probably due to long journey.

Don't know why but this little RBTA decided to come out and stick to the clam after hiding in the cave for a week. Match made in heaven?

Under different lighting the colour of SPS will appear differently. Using Full blue plus sometime the colour is quite deceiving. :chair:
