FarmerTy's 215-gallon SPS Tank

[Eagle_Steve]

Nothing like tubs of rock and empty sandbed to make you wonder what on earth is going on here.

SPS is like juggling on a unicycle. When it’s going good, you feel like a bad-lass (haha, got around you filters) and king of the world. When it isn’t, you’re all bruised up laying on the ground wondering what just happened.

Good day.

Bad Day

Is that laser Hair Algae removal???

I am going to suggest we get back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Ty throws up a pic of some softy thing and we end up like this.

You forgot the part where the unicycle jams your man berries up into your throat just before you pass out after realizing how much you just lost.

Got a new toy to help with the picture taking part of the hobby.

So you attach so much equipment to the camera to make it too heavy for your boy to pick up and take FTS for us to see! I know what you're up to!

Is that a cannon 80d?

Close, 90D.

 

[brightlifeaquaculture]

Close, 90D.

Haha! I have the 80 and it was looking similar! Definitely going to have to try one of those screens out! Any recommendations on a tripod for vertical and horizontal shots?

I hand shoot all my shots so hardly ever use a tripod unless I’m doing a video or something.

I might have a problem…

I thought this funny but after I moved the old rock from the display into the tub (now mixed half with old rock and half with rock I’ve been curing for 8-9 months now), I noticed some acro encrustment on the old rock looking great in the tub. So I decided to toss in a mini colony of RR Pink Floyd in the tub and see how it does. This tub just has a heater and a maxi jet 900 with a Reefbreeders V2+ over it.

Day 1

Day 3

So what you're saying is "Hey look, I can even grow acro's in my garbage can"? That's just mean, lol.

What a huge difference! I can focus so much better now and free bonus… my biceps will be huge by the end of the year. For you photo nerds… my ISO is higher than usual mainly because I forgot to bring it back down after shooting a darker shot before this. Aperture is 00 because I’m using a manual Nikon mounted Laowa 60mm Macro with a Canon adaptor.

SCOP? you gotta keep the name next to the coral shots, not everyone has 1000's acros library of names in their heads like you.....

Nice shot btw
