d2mini's "Essential Focus" Mixed Reef Build

New pics!
Testing out the Fuji 80mm 1:1 Macro we rented this week. Using it on a little Fuji X-E3.
All shot hand held, raw, and processed through Capture One Pro 11.

Capture one - great product. I still use the non pro version I got for free years ago from a Sans Disk offer. Nice photos btw.
 
That’s impressive hand-held macro!
I have a Canon 100mm Macro, I cannot hand-hold it for crap trying to get a quality image of a coral...
 
True story, I discovered I had red bugs by posting a close up photo. I never could see them with my eye but a closeup is very revealing.
 
Beautiful pics, as always though. You're not including the coral names in them though. The Sunny D's I'm pretty sure I can guess right on but is the sps a WWC Yellow Tips?

Yeah, I've gotten lazy. I can batch export the edited pics with the watermark added automatically, rather than me placing it in each individual photo. :)
Can't do that with the names since each would be different.

Are those sunny d's? Cool. Got a bunch of zoas in a raffle but didn't know what they were. lol

And yes, WWC Yellow Tip. :)
 
I'm no zoa identification expert but I would say Sunny D, and a real nice picture of them at that. For the price they are one of my favorites definitely.
 
I’m curious to hear your opinion of LifeReef sump vs BAO sump. Any reason why you went with BAO over LifeReef this build? I’m trying to decide between the two for my custom sump build and would appreciate your input since you’ve had both.

I needed a custom sump designed specifically for Triton.
BAO is literally down the street from me and I've been happy with their work on past projects.

As you'll see later in this thread, things happened with the tank and I restarted it as a standard Berlin style tank and picked up another LifeReef.

Both are great sumps/companies, just depends on your needs/preferences.
 
Dennis - do you still run a sponge in the sump? I bought one of these Bubble Magus ARF-1's the other day and am going to modify it to use in my sump. Gonna be interesting.

I considered welcoming the detritus and removing the sponge but decided I'd rather have an active filter in there.
