    Chip do you have a lot of Red Sea animals? The typically have a higher salinity. But I know consistency is key.

    No, I have been told to keep my reef salinity between 1.025 - 1.026. I kept a salinity of 1.023 for fish only tanks.

    This weekend I did a water change and was up cleaning the salt spray from top canopy and I happened to look down into the tank I a noticed that the view was starting to look really nice and the corals were looking good.
    Here a few shots I took. Some I could not get to because the lights just blocked me and since I am using an iPhone 6+ rigged with an old polarized lenses from a pair of sunglasses it lol was a big hassle so could not get as many as I would have liked to.
