Ah nope, the 10K is AquaSun, the fiji purple is KZ (Korallen Zucht), and the blues are UVLs.

I really do love your tank. Your pictures are stunning. My little 20L is going well. Every, I mean EVERY picture I've taken that's a FTS is terrible of mines, hence why I haven't updated my thread. Any recommendations of a decent camera that won't break the bank?

Diamond1 · Feb 20, 2014

Wow Lalani your camera skills never cease to amaze!!!!

swayd · Feb 20, 2014

Best photography I've seen on r2r! Great job, when I get a good camera I will seek your knowledge hehe.

Hey glad to hear your tank is doing well! If you PM me one of your problem FTS shots I can try to help you improve them.

As far as cameras on the market right now, I really have no idea. I haven't been keeping up with what's out there for years. Depends on just how much or little you want to spend. For the best possible shots a DSLR is recommended but the lower end ones will still run $550+ just for the body, but I know lots of people use different point and shoot cameras that take really fantastic shots. I know in the past, the Canon Powershot p&s cams have done well with tank photography.

Thank you, rev! I was looking back and some of my old reef pics and I definitely have come a long way over the years.

I cant believe you remember lol!
I miss my 20L, it was so simple compared to having a sump and all the stuff I have now. Do you do weekly waterchanges?

You were either one of the good ones or one of the bad ones, for me to remember you. Which one was it?

Yeah, just thinking about sumps and reactors and junk is too much work, hah! I love keeping mine simple. I do weekly 2gal water changes on this baby and dose for alk, cal, and mag whenever needed. Regular water changes are the key!
