bella, I may have missed it, can you tell me about the camera you are using?

Nikon d60 with a 90 mm lens . Just practice a lot especially on other reefers systems with different types of lighting . I enjoy bringing out the detail in every coral I shoot

Thanks truk. Those were my first reddish paly I bought. Do you have a collection that we can see?

I posted with my very first coral ever in another thread. I just got my new light system 2 weeks ago and got my first ever coral last sunday. They are a green/brownish Paly. My big tank has been a fowlr since April... I am just now finally getting into Corals!

Good luck and welcome to the addiction !

Great tank! As someone who is just starting, it's you're an inspiration.

If you don't mind me asking, where are you getting the majority of these from?

Thanks!!

I forgot to mention, your photos are just great. Nice camera! (and you obviously know how to use it!)

Thanks IA, I guess I am my harshest critic . Somedays everything seems clear , all the corals are open and vibrant and taking pictures goes real easy. Then Somedays everything seems like a struggle to get in focus, corals staying closed or being irritated by CUC's,deleting photos cause you can't get the perfect pic. I had one of those days that I believe everybody goes thru once in a while. Very frustrating . LoL

thats not zooanthellae, that zoa is excreeting waste



your tank is very inspiring, i have a 150 dd ordered for part of my massive build... it was origionally going to be a nps tank (actually part of my biological filtration system) but i may have to switch that to a zoa tank.... just wonderful... the progression has been nothing short of amazing

Practice , Practice ,Practice. Can not stress that enough. Different lights, distance, and trajectory all play a part in your settings. Thanks for the compliment too.
