Actually, Chris said he uses photo shop to tone down the colors because the are excessive when he takes photos under his 1000watt MH. He photo shops them to get them more true to life and has several eye witnesses to support that claim.

Recently to appease the masses and try to get them to look more like they would look in a normal tank not running 1000w 20k he is now photographing under 400w 20k. Thus no longer any need to question the photos.
