Ty I'm going to be setup sooner then later then I'm going to have to place an order with you. You've got some gorgeous pieces.

You know how to find me sir.

Man Ty, that is fantastic. You know, I feel burdened when I think about getting the camera out to take shots. I start going over all the things that I’ll have to mess with like the filter, the WB problems, then having to transfer everything to the PC and edit and then transfer everything back to my phone....it’s very cumbersome. It sounds like you’ve found a solution to all of that work! I’ll likely be following you!

I feel the pain. Why I used to do 50 pics at a time and do large batch edits. My pics were like looking at stars in the sky. The star could have died long ago but we still see it’s light traveling towards us. My frag could have died as well but I’m posting a pic I took of it 3 weeks later.

Under exposed shouldn’t be much of a problem especially if you use an editing software where you can create masks and adjust the exposure in specific areas of the photo

I’ve never played with any of that in Photoshop. It came with my Adobe subscription with Lightroom and I think I opened it twice now in 1.5 years. People can do some really amazing edits in it. Maybe one day when the littles are less dependent I’ll have time to tinker with it.

Yeah Lightroom is what I use so definitely if you get time look up some YouTube videos on how it’s done

What is the purple blue coral with the green PE and the purple with yellow tips?

Oh man, you’re really testing me with no visual bud. I’m guessing you mean the ORA Bellina and the LRO/TSA Lunar Lemonade.

Ty, about how many gallons are you working with. I believe you said you have two systems?

Hey bud,

Roughly 320 gallons on the display with two frag tanks connected and then the backup system is around 120 gallons.

I might be losing my memory card soon too... you are always an inspiration! I love my very old Canon 5d, but it’s so old that there is no display on the viewfinder til after the shot and no video. It takes amazing photos though. I’m also interested in what the wb settings are that were preset for you. I have mine set to pretty close to why my eye sees but still need to use a brown lens filter if I want to shoot under my normal ab+ color. I’d love to not have to mess with anything in Lightroom.

It may be because I'm using the 90D but in the menu, I can just set WB using a picture I've already taken. So I just take a picture with a gray card in the tank and set that as the Custom White Balance and viola, no filter and no Lightroom needed.

While it may not look crazy exciting but for me , super excited. That was just a slightly encrusted frag tile in the backup system and it encrusted over entirely and grew branches.

Just because... I know it’s common but man, the contrast of colors is amazing when fully colored and polyps out.

Dragon Soul torch... there’s so many colors!
