Everyone always ask what kind of camera I use and so forth. The funny thing is I use an old old old Canon camera A95. It's a 5 megapixel camera and I had a lens magnifier. Similar to a macro lens but it's not a lens, technically to camera fanatics. It's held together by rubber bands because the clip is broken. It's been broken for years. I finally broke down and bought another Canon camera powershot g12. But the pics from it weren't impressive. I spent some time talking to Canon's tech support. Found out they changed the type or technology of the image sensors or something (I forgot it's been so long since I had the talk with Canon) and the new cameras dont have the same one as the old ones. Cause the old A95 took pics exactly how I see them. Here are my steps to taking pics.....
1. Turn on camera
2. Turn setting to underwater
3. Turn off flash
4. Turn on macro
5. Take picture

No editing, only cropping.

I use this A95 for all my pics. I have a brand new canon powershot G12 that I spend $400 on that I need to sell. I had a canon slr rebel XTI that I sold because I didn't know how to use it.

Maybe I'm just too old to learn, but when it's as easy as the A95 makes it, it's a no brainer for me.
 
All delight, what kind of lighting do you keep your acans under?

Do you ever sell frags, I am having a hard time finding really nice acans in my current area.

Tempting for me to sell the radion and go back to T5, the colors just are much better imo.

I never owned led's. Maybe I'm too old skool or whatever but I'm still skeptical.

I wish I could have multiple tanks where I could have both, but since I can't I have to stick to what I know has given me the results I want.

Similar but solar flares look like they have a thicker ring around center. Maybe call them Jupiter's Rings. A trade with you is always welcome on my end!!

LED has done very good for me as long as I stay with bluer spectrum. Only morphing was when I took it to low into kelvin temp. I do think sps which you also are a collector of does better under t5 then LED so you shouldn't change imo.
