That's one of those high end $1000 cameras that also act as a phone. Great pictures with a phone that is not designed to take underwater pictures

I dont use any gel filters or anything but the camera offers a pro mode and focuses pretty well. It is as close to what the eye sees as I can get it. I hate when pics are so saturated its just straight blue lol.

The picture doesn't do it justice. That piece has been through a lot and just keeps growing even at a time when other corals were crashing several months ago. It has over tripled in size since I got it a year ago. Got it from Adam at Frag Garage on the Island. Now that I have things under control (knock on wood) it growing like stink almost as fast as the rainbow loom.

If you want to treat your self this year for Christmas to some corals that have colours that will knock your socks off .
Then talk to Wheelman, I got a frag pack from him just over 4 months ago on the Edmonton group buy. Corals are for sure better in person . Thanks Jess your the Jedi Master reefer .

Nice corals but I see everything is on eggcrate. Do you not have a display tank?Hey Snappy,

Yes I do a 130 gal but its mostly LPS, my coral table is where my SPS is kept.

Cant seem to get SPS to take off it in the display tank, very slow growing, I think it's a mix of to much LPS and the LED lighting creating hot spots.
