What are you using to take these gorgeous shots? Some of the most clean, beautiful pics I've seen. Would love to know the equipment behind this. Please say an Iphone LOL.

Those are some PURPLE Rocks. Looks mature! Nice

Thx, just wish I could grow coral as fast as the coralline algae grows in my tank :+)

Thank you very much for the compliments, however there are many others on here and other forums that are much more deserving however. I do appreciate it though given I am just learning. These were taken with a 100mm Canon Macro. The body was a 5DIV, but realistically any modern body would do. I am still figuring out lighting as the limited spectral range of LEDs really messes with the sensors ability to record accurate lighting and colors in my short experience. The keys I have found so far to get sharp focus are not new, but they are more critical then I thought they might be.

• tripod
• shutter release
• smaller aperture given the very short DOF
• magnified focusing using live view
• taking the photo level or as parallel as possible with the glass surface. I don't understand light and optics well enough, but shooting at an angle causes a lot of distortion. Its amazing how good our eyes are compared to a lens and sensor with respect to this and interpreting color

Thanks for the kinds words. Really appreciate that. Yes I am very curious to see how things fill in and grow out. Hopefully my losses are few.

That's a beat!!! What kind of coral do you have in there?

 

[Aclman88]

I see nanos, I must post nano. IM 10gal
Most frags are a few weeks old

Is that a 3d Reefing diffuser I see? I was thinking about purchasing one for my pico reef. If it is, how do you like it?

34g Solana. Setup in 2018, crashed Nov of 2019. This picture is from April. Light snaps Hydra 52 HD. Has an auto doser and 1 maxspect gyre for flow. I occasionally run filter floss other then that my only filtration is the live rock and sand

I love it, would never run a Prime without one! However I'm slightly biased diffusers are easier on the eyes imo. Also have one on my Hydra and ordered 2 diffusers for my G5 Xr15s.

Well let's see all your nanos!

New Minnesota hobbyist. My tank is just over 4 months old, and just got serviced by New Wave Aquaria while I was away for 11 days! The mushroom, cloves, gsp, and zoas are new. Couldn't be happier! Finally feel like the tank has come together.
E: it's a 5 gallon pico/nano

Here's mine, a 24 gallon nanocube, will soon be torn down and replaced with another nano (probably Cadlights)

So many corals!!
