The sps are lit by 2 250w 10k reeflux metal halides and 2 400w 10k reeflux metal halides.

Ahh ok Seeing those glowing blue tips that's what I was thinking, but the overall color of the photo had me thinking iwasaki also

I like the 10ks,good colour for taking the corals pictures.We have used 12k,14k but always end up back on the 10s,what k do you guys keep your sps under?.

lindsay I run all T5's now but I ran 400w 10k reeflux on an old tank and I love the appearance that they gave to blue corals. Very different from other 10k bulbs. My favorite halide look would be 10 ushios with 4 VHO actinics . I also like 400w radiums.

Sounds good,how about taking a luminark reflector,bang two fittings on it and run a 400w 10k reeflux and a 250w 20k,400w for approx 6hours and then the 20k for 3 to 4 hours,not done it yet but going to get round to it one day lol.

Hi,the corals are from our sps stock tank,which we sale here in the UK,both locally and on line throughout the UK.Would like to say where they come from but suspect my brother would shoot me lol.Spent all day yesterday photographing more sps so with luck will try to post some of them on here soon.Most of the sps have man made bases on them.
