Acronics Statement of the Art

love that last wrasse. what kind is it?

Thanks for stopping in.

That is halichoeres biocellatus

What about your Springeri damsels? Are they well behavied? Do you keep them in a group or a pair?

I'm thinking in adding pomacentrus alleni o chrysiptera springery to my 75g but my LFS guy keeps saying that I wil regret sonner than later.

Congratulations, your tank is beatiful and your shots are AMAZING

Thank you very much for the kind words.

C springeri are extreamly tame in my opinion. I keep them in a group of 9. Well 8 now since one jumped because my powered blue tang HATES them.

Do you have small and more peaceful fish -,anthias, chromis, dartfish-than springeri? How do they behave to them?

so far the springeri only show brief squabbles amongst them selves.

I have bengaii cardinal, red line cardinal, dispar anthias, cooperi anthias, squanpinnis anthias, cirrhilabrus brunneus ect and all are indifferent with the cirrhilabrus being the exception when he claims his territory.

Thank you very much!

I use a canon 60D crop body with a tamaron 90mil macro on a vanguard tripod with pistol grip trigger (great for fish).

Setting change quite a bit. Usually 2.8~5 aperture depending on subject.

ISO is typically set to 100 for corals, 800 for fish

Shutter is as fast as I can get keeping a half or full stop under neutral. I prefer to add brightness rather than take it away.

Things I'm conscious about when shooting,

Exposure
Composition
DOF
Bokeh

Pro tip for fish shots, make sure the eye is perfectly in focus and the rest will follow. Fish are a pain in the butt

Thx for the info!! I don't know about the focus eye, you give me a precious tips for mine :)
