 I have been playing with my pics a bit in adobe 9 photo  using the auto fix and auto color adjust. I have some other program that has a under water filter in it, it allows you to remove the amount of blue in the photo til where it is almost white. I used that option in the last 2 pics with the orange spotted goby to what I could do.

 

Here is some info on the set up I have, will post some pics of the stuff.
It is a 180 gallon, with me building the stand and canopy. Under it I have two 40's.
It has 3 AI Sol Blue lights over it, they turn on a 8am and are totally off at midnight. the white are on from noon til 10pm they max out at 35% for 1 hour ramping up up then down. the blues max out at 50% for about a hour each shade (I run the blue to 5% the the royal to 10%  then bring the blue to 15% then bring the royal to 20% going up then back down.)
I have a 12" Magenta ecoxotic Stunner LED Strips that is on from 9am til 11pm it is on the left side of the tank I will be getting another to place over the right side. It gives a very nice dawn and dusk appearance in the tank.
I have a 12" UV ecoxotic Stunner LED Strips over the middle of the tank that is on from 11pm til 9am I love that look at night.
I run two heaters a 300 watt one in my main tank then the other 150 watt heaters in sump next to my return pumps.
I have 2 return pumps in my sump one feeding each return in the main tank.
The left over flow dumps into a 4" filter sock in the corner of a 40 gallon breeder that I divided into 3 sections 1 has sea grass, 1 is full of live rock and some coral frags, the other has cheeto and some more frags. It drains out two 1" over flows into my sump by the return pumps. Over this side for light I have a 2 bulb 36" t5 light.
The other 40 gallon breeder has my reef octopus skimmer and 4 PhosBan Reactor 150 by two little fishes 2 that I run carbon in them and 2 for gfo. Two baffles to remove the micro bubbles before getting returned to the main tank
For my gravity feed auto top off I have a 15 gallon tub that sits in a different room.

 

Those flat looking shelf are just set on larger rocks under them and balanced in 3 spots or so.
