lol yes i figured out some what haw to take photos under my leds but without a fancy camera i still cant give you any actinic shots, and the tank is 50 gallons with a 23 gallon sump, i dose brightwell everything, and feed lots of raw oyster these days my chilli is so happy for that.

also MisTanks that is montipora setosa, a fast growing hardy sps- if lighting, food, and water quality are all in check
