Tanks are looking wonderful as always buddy!
What's that? You want to see more pictures? Okay!

Nori time is a great time to see ALL the fish at once. No one can resist Nori on a stick!










Sadly this does not work in the 131g aggressive tank since most of the fish in there have sworn off Nori for some reason. A scallop or clam on a stick maybe. I'll have to try that.

Hopefully I don't jinx myself.. but I think the "event" is behind me now. Corals are all looking good, growth is back on track and colours are returning.

This is a "skyberry" stag which is normally a baby blue that had completely browned out during the event. As you can see it has regained much of its colour.



I've also put in some new frags to see how they faired and they have all done well.

Good to see things are on the up & up Kien. Found the same thing with the Hanna meter, you don't have much time between the 2 tubes during the test. Great pic's also .

You could take a photo of a turd and somehow expose some hidden beauty I swear. Great shots and really good to hear you're back in the realm of growth and colour. How much is the tester and 25 reagents?

Thanks guys :-) Can't say that I've ever photographed a turd before though.

Phosphate kit is $50. A pack of 25 reagents is $11. I hear they are coming out with kits for The Big 4 (Nitrate, Calcium, Alk, Mag). I will definitely be getting them!

Cool Photos

What kind of equipment are you using to photograph your corals? They are fantastic shots!

Looks like a nice macro lens.... or perhaps a point and shoot with great macro setting!

I hope to rival those shots once my tank is complete!! LOL!

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

thanks Most macro photos were taken with the Canon 5D Mark II with 100mm macro lens. In water photos were taken with the Olympus Stylus Tough 6000 in macro mode.
