Sellers Lighting?

[MizTanks]

Hi peoples

When buying corals online. Am I to assume that the seller is using MH's and or t5 lighting?

Mostly just curious :) as some questions hang with me longer then others. This is one that's been hanging with me :)

Usually they list somewhere on there website what lighting they use. If not you could ask or tell what you have. Mh's are commonly used and you'll probably see the K (color temperature) and maybe wattage.

If the lighting is not listed, I would definitly send a message to ask....there are many sellers out there that use lighting to their benefit.

If you are really worried about what your seeing, being what you get- ask for a camera shot w/ flash. This will give you an idea of what you "could" be getting.

If you have never seen your corals w/ a flash shot- try it, and you will understand. A must experiance, with a large variety of corals. It will help you alot in the long run. Try it, understand it, and learn from it.

I've used a flash and more so then not the corals look like ****-it's all about the lighting as to how they look. That and a good photo imaging program :/
