Bubba's SPS Journey

[FarmerTy]

It’s a really nice coral. @FarmerTy also got one the same time I got mine so maybe he will share a pic of his also.

For the camera I use a Canon EOS R with the 100mm macro L series lens. I use a custom white balance for my pics. The further away pics I use the canon 60mm. Luckily I got my lens pre-Covid when they were half the price they are now. Prices now for lenses are crazy.

Holy crap… You still have a tank and corals?

Here’s the “frag from another bag” to your piece Bubba.

Your frags are absolutely phenomenal! I think I'm ready to dip my toes in the SPS world, but I definitely can't afford the epic designer pieces I'm sure there's some brown $10 frag bin twig either online or at one of the LFS's here. If there was one tip or piece of advice you wish you had known going in to SPS keeping, what would it be?

 

[bubbaque]

I’ll throw a video in of it also.

The best advice I can give is don’t be greedy with the food. Make sure you feed your tank well.

Yes I’ve used it for a little while now. I hated having to use my phone with filters. Having a custom white balance on the dslr portrays the colors more accurately and the quality seems great.

I really like this one a lot. As it gets larger the polyps get this gold color to them.

I know they said it takes years before one can show purple. I’ve had this one a few years and I’m still waiting…

I always love seeing some nice growth tips! This coral seems to grow no matter what is going on in the tank.
