Pintails are beauties!

Little video of my torches and a visit from the fairy wrasse.

Just got the Versa dosing pump set up. So far so good. Everything is looking great.

 

[Srt4eric]

Also excited to see all the coralline growth on the back and sides.

 

[Baykes]

Tank is looking good!

 

[Srt4eric]

I've never seen the polyps out this much on my meteor shower before.

 

[Srt4eric]

Oh, and I suck with this thing.

I think you want to shoot in raw and then adjust the white balance on all the pictures with software. I believe you can take a pic of something that should be white and use that to adjust the white balance for all the other photos. I don’t have personal experience but that is what I remember from reading some R2R threads on photography

But the tripod and straight on angles are a great way to avoid distortion or blurs

Weird thing happened last night with my mp10s. From 6am-10pm I have them set on reef Crest mode at 45% from 10:01pm-5:59am they switch to constant mode at 15% so my fishies can sleep. Well last night instead of dropping to 15% they both jumped to 100% on constant. Luckily I turned on my lights for a sec to see something before I went to bed and I saw sand flying all over the place. Now I have a partial bare bottom tank with a couple huge dunes.

That's what happened to me after I added my sand sifting goby

Getting better... The color is still a bit off.

Water change day was yesterday so I got a nice top down pic. Also the KH guardian and Ecotech dosing pump are up and running great.

I need to work on cord management a bit but I'm liking the little shelves. (Thanks for the idea @max_nano )

It's a mandarin goby or mandarin dragonet. I got this guy from Violet sea here in San Jose. I wouldn't recommend these for a new tank though. You need a well established pod population for their food.

 

[vissen319]

ah i see..thanks! Yes, I would go for a clownfish first..

My torch I got from the group buy had been kind of sucked up lately on one side. I checked this morning and it is definitely splitting!!!

 

[Srt4eric]

Kind of neat seeing the sweepers on the pectinia out during the day. This usually only happens at night.
