Thanks all! I appreciate the kind words!
That was all shot with my Samsung Galaxy S5 and the motion smoothed out with Youtube's built-in video editor.
The emperor behaves itself well, when polyps aren't involved. You can see the devoid of zoas/palys in there for the most part. He'll nibble here and there on a few acros on occasion but nothing too seriously that warranted his removal up to this point. He's definitely the centerpiece fish in the tank and commands attention from everybody who looks at him. Haha.

Some pics I took for fun yesterday.
That RCA Baton Rouge Tort is coloring up nicely!
Can anybody spot the ice fire echinata? [emoji12]
No idea what this is but the subtle colors are mesmerizing to me.
What better backdrop than a Colorado Sunburst anemone behind a Pearlberry colony?
You got me. It's just pretty.

Beautiful tank!
And that first video is really cool..
Sometimes it seems as though your phone is actually in the water when you get closer in.
Are you zooming in and out while shooting that?
I like the fact that is doesn't over saturate the colours (too much) like the iPhone does..
What lighting do you use?

Beautiful tank! Definitely helps me figure out what to do. Do you have any problems with your anemones?
Thank you!
I actually leave my zoom alone and just put the camera phone right on the glass when I seem to get closer. I think using the built-in anti-shake on youtube makes it feel more immersive like I'm actually flying around in the tank. Just a theory. I am using two Ocean Revive T247 LED fixtures and one 400-watt MH fixture. If you tell me which is the MH, I'll give you a reefer of the day badge.
I had the same colony of clones through both my old 125-gallon tank and my current 215-gallon tank with no issues with the no water changes. The only issue I've run across is when I introduced the Colorado Sunburst anemone, it got a really bad bacterial infection and I had to treat it with Cipro. It's be fine ever since but I don't think that's a correlation with the no water changes.
I do an annual Triton water test to monitor trend changes but don't really use it to base any of my dosing off it. I still don't 100% trust their results are as accurate as they imply but I am okay with using it for monitoring of annual trends. Basically, I wouldn't use a low potassium result from Triton as an indicator to dose more potassium, I would just monitor it to see how much it changes year to year and base my dosing on my own test kits.
