What kind of lighting spectrum has been used, when the photos were taken ? The colors are popping up more than what I can believe :)

I have an 8 bulb T5 fixture with the following bulbs:
4 ATI Blue Plus
2 ATI Aquablue
2 UVL Actinic white

I normally take pictures with out the 4 ATI Blue plus bulbs on. I also set the white balance on my camera to compensate for the blue in the ATI Aquablue & UVL Actinic white bulbs. I do not photo shop images to add, change or morph colors. I also try and always label any photos that were taken under the strong ATI Blue Plus bulbs.

You can see the difference in the two photos below:

This photo is all 8 bulbs and white balance set.


This photo is only the 4 ATI Blue Plus bulbs and no white balance compensation.


This photos is only the ATI Aquablue & UVL Actinic white bulbs on and white balance compensation


I will be happy to post images of any piece using flash photography.
Just ask.

Thanks for the information.Looking at the colors of your corals, I am thinking of switching from MH to T5 atleast for my zoas. Your zoas have amazing colors and I am a zoa fan..

I'm setting up a 135 gallon frag tank and I'm going LED's. It's the only way to go from this point forward, I believe. Ecoxotic will be releasing a retro fit kit in a few weeks. It will be equivalent to a Panorama but substantially cheaper w/out the housing. I plan to use my T5 fixture on 1/2 (maybe 2/3) of the tank and use 1 of the LED retros. In time replace the T5's w/ one, maybe 2 of the retros.

Hey prashant, I am inclined to beleive the color, they made sure to do actinic comparisons for some of them and looking at the background, it's not blue. Those bam bams and pink zoas do look hella bright. This is a doctored photo for comparison..
