Got lucky with that one, the mouth area wasn't very visible so I had no idea what it looked like.

I finally figured out how to use the camera correctly. It has a macro and super macro setting. Just need to pic the right one when shooting. I keep the pics at max size and then crop to size.

The 6 bulb high bay fixture was about $225 and then another $120 on the reflectors. The original reflectors in the high bay were plenty good but I made a mess of them trying to squeeze them in under the canopy. A good 4 bulb high bay fixture would work for a SPS dominant 75 gallon tank. A 6 bulb unit would be good for up to a 120 gallon SPS dominant tank. Just buy one with a molded reflector.

Here are some shots of the tank. Colors are coming around nicely with less light.
