Nice! Great view and good shot of sunset. Do you get much more algal growth with the natural light than you would with man made?

The cyno is out of control the algea grows faster then we can clean it so yer a bit but the corals are going ballistic. Sadly I have had white spot go through an claim 2 victims sadly the morish Idol was first followed by the Margins Butterfly. It hit hard an fast the fish were all feeding one day an happy then suddenly bang white spot all over the 2 larger tangs an the morish the following day, the day after I found him dead. Then the margins the following the odd thing the purple an yellow are un-effected.
