This is my Fav.
I believe his light is closer to 10K. The only question I have is that some colonies in front looked like they were just placed there for the photo shoot.

Italian tanks use this thing called Proppane to color up their sps.. As for how effective it is, there's a long thread on it..
Agree w teo that some of them looks "fake"

Propane is.. Proppane no..
Its a blended seafood mix that is said to be very beneficial for sps and other corals..

I am more concerned wbout water movement in a tank like this? Some SPS looks like they are blocked from all sides.
Colour looks good but form looks unatural. Maybe if this is left to grow out in a year will look very nice.

This look so fake to me. I noticed that all the corals are evenly grown. I suspect they are bought and placed before pictures are taken on the same day.
There is no way corals in a captive environment grown so 'rounded' and evenly. And they are all so close and properly placed like fruit store.
My 3 cents worth of thoughts.......

Kindda agree with Bro RP... the whole tank is too neat and one of the millis seem to be placed to pose for photo-taking which is totally unreal to me....
But the colours....

I believe a large part for his incredible colors are due to using three 400W bulbs.
