A year ago all I had for a digital camera was my video cam so I used it to take stills. Last Christmas I got a Sony cyber-shot 8.1 MP with a macro setting so since then my picture quality has definately gotten better.

Yep. The nice thing about it is it seems to have a lower startup cost than some of the others and you don't seem to need a reactor. Although maybe the ongoing costs are more, I don't know. I have to admit I'm thinking about starting it now, espescially seeing the difference in Greg's corals.

I'll tell you one thing though, one thing that has me looking at Reefresh over the others is the lack of a reactor means one "kit" would be good for multiple tanks..

It is about the same monthly cost as zeovit but without the initial reactor cost. Dosing twice a day is a pain in the neck so I am hoping to automate it one of these days. It is said to increase PE but in my opinion it really depends a lot on the coral. Some do a lot- some do a little.

I will do some research when I get some time and I will get a positive id.

Okay, I've looked it up and believe with a 95% probability the above coral is Acropora aculeus.

Just for fun here's a few more daytime PE shots.
