Tank looks real nice. Any more additions of fish planned?

Yes actually I was thinking about maybe another pair of clownfish maybe some spotinicus or maybe a mandarin fish. Also I used to have another clown fish but he got sucked up in my filter

Sometimes other clowns do not play well together. It's that caveman territory thing. Often it gets brutal. Be prepared to re-home one or more.
A green mandarin would be awesome.

Yikes! There was a forum member whose clown bit him on the eye when he was bending over the tank cleaning a bit.

Welcome to R2R! Tank is looking good. Curious, you have a 300 Watt heater on a 10 gallon tank?

Polyp lab coral view lens

I just recently bought the polyp lab coral view lens kit and was very satisfied with all the small features and wanted to share my personal experience. And now without further ado here is my review of the coral view lens.

Over all review

it's a pretty basic kit which has all the essentials for photography which are 1 10 times macro, lens 1 15000k lens, and 1 20000k lens. So know it's on to the pros and cons of this kit.

Pros

it is very cheap only costing 40 us dollars. The lenses are threaded and can be stacked so you can use macro and 20000k together.

It comes with a lense wipe and lens cover. Lens cover pictures below

Cons

I have only one problem and it is a very minor issue which is the fact that there is no manual but other than that it's a perfect product.

Review of each lense individualy

So here's a review of each lense and my personal opinion on each one starting with my favorite. The macro lens is an amazing piece for the price it works Insanely well and takes crystal clear pictures and videos I have a amazing example right here featuring my baby emerald crab my second favorite is the 20000k lens It is almost exactly like what you see with the human eye heres an example and now my least favorite lens, this is still a great lens but in my opinion it blocks too much blue light and here's an example.

Conclusion

So in conclusion I would highly recommend this product to anyone and everyone. And hope every one enjoyed my tank. And also sorry my tank is so dirty I am fighting a few differnt kinds of nuisance algae.
