Both are a little too blue for me, but I realize blue is hard to not get in a picture. If I had to chose, I would pick 2 also. Very cool tank, love the rock work.

It depends.
When posting pictures, I want color accuracy for trading. Tidal Garden provides 14000k and actinic samples. For actual lighting, it is the color balance or maximum growth that I want to see in the tank. I think both are very different. Unless a photographer tells me I can get accurate WYSIWYG colors.(Please do.)
One of your pictures has too much Teal color showing. That's actually one of the colors that I can't get from my Orange Ricordia Florida running 100% actinic. I am a noob, so don't ask me if your colors are accurate enough.

Bottom picture is a 20k halide which is about as accurate as i can get
Top is with t5s added which will give a little pop
All of my coral pics are under 20k halide. Cant get pics with t5s on because the reflection off the top of the water

20k. It doesn't get any truer than that. You do have an excessive amount of Teal-Green colored corals! : )
Though not color accurate, I like my specimens to share the limelight. I like the flourescence from actinics but hate the blue water. Mixed emotions with maroon looking green algae. Though, not as obviously deficient as seeing green algae in my tank.
Sometimes, I think those perfect tanks are for the annual " Family photo". I like no1, btw. I am addicted to coralline. The more complete looking the encrusting the better. An all noob opinion, mind you.
