Ok. Any recommendations on a good zoom lens for cell phones? How do you take good close up pictures of things that small? Any time I try they get blury. I got the microscope to help better identify things in my reef, unfortunately a photo of a image on the screen is not ideal. Let me know if you have any recommendations. Thanks
Ebay and amazon have macro lenses for cell phones. Also- assure both the phone lens and tank glass are clear and free of algae
Since you are one of the people always answering my questions and I can tell from reading some of your other answers on here that you seem to really know your **** when it comes to reef keeping. Here is a unrelated question for you. I have a small colony of some green type of palys mixed with a few zoas probably in the neighborhood of 50-75 or so heads. I noticed in the past few days that one of the paly heads is turning color from green to gray. I noticed now today that a neighboring head is starting to turn as well. There is no way that it is to much light as it's very low in the tank and has been in that spot for well over a year. I am concerned with the color loss. See photos. Parameters are as follows.
Palythoa has a few different pigments. CA a little low but no impact. I would add a little iron and iodide to the water. Not iodine as they will utilize the iodide into iodine themselves . As with most soft coral- Moderate light and water flow.
I did also take these pics with them closed and noticed these little white spots all over each polyp.
I have brightwell aquatics advanced iodide, I hesitate to dose as I don't have a way to test for it. Should I just dose per directions on bottle or not until I can test for it? Also, I have freshwater planted tanks and wondering if iron is iron is iron because I dose iron in my fw tanks and use seachem iron and could use that if it is the right form and would work?
