A short video with my new additions:
Flametail blenny, flame angel, and coral beauty.

Real nice fish!
Thanks Rick!  So far no issues between the coral beauty and flame angel. Added at the same time.
Keeping plenty of nori in the tank as well!

Thanks Brian.

I would have more coral in the tank but my source is temporarily closed :(

Can’t wait for Brian to open up again.

Just look at how empty my tank is.

Waiting, just waiting.........

Oh, and ensuring stability;)

A few picks from yesterday morning. Lights were still off, but plenty of ambient lighting.

Thanks! 

I’m currently tuning my spectrum to match normal sun light more closely.

I can always make it look blue when I want but I find more Beaty in natural lighting.

all with my iPhone 8

these last natural light ones were taken with the stock phone camera. Phone flat against the glass.

For all my prior photos, same phone but pics taken thru the "aquarium cam" app. Gel filter on, adjustments as needed in the white balance.

Looks interesting, is it worth the $2.99?

I think it’s well worth it. All the other pics and videos in this thread were made with that app. I’ve got better with it over time but I’m no expert.

Main things I’ve learned is:

Gel filter on.

Then go to white balance and play with the 3 settings to get the look you want.

A few pics with the app:

Here’s one I took tonight of the clownfish I picked up today. Hoping to get my corals back from jr tomorrow and we’ll see those turn out.
