Great thread! This is exactly why I've always wanted to buy a nice microscope. There's so much more life in our tanks that we don't even see on a day to day basis. Thanks for sharing!

Hey everyone...thanks for all the kind words! I didn't expect this thread to be as popular as it is...I guess I'm not the only one who finds everything about our tanks beautiful

Of course, here are some more pics...some of my personal favorites.

I like taking pictures of copepods...because they take good pictures 400x

There's no denying the beauty of a coral colony, but what about this "diatom colony"?(200x)

I love this, mainly because I have no idea what it is...a tiny snail perhaps?(200x)

A wonderful diatom...such precision on such a small scale...it's astounding really.(200x)

I'm no fan of hair algae, but my heart softens a little when I see it at 100x.

Hello! A nematode peeks out from his algae forest at 100x.

Ok everyone enjoy the latest pics, and look out for even more fun stuff in the future...we just got a fluorescent lens on one of the scopes and algae just light up.

Can I make a request, will you take a picture of skimmate?

Kinda makes you think twice about starting a siphon with your mouth again, huh?

I hadn't thought about that.

That was an awesome post. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome images! My favorite day of Freshman biology was sedating a goldfish and looking at it under a microscope. It's definitely something else to watch the blood flow through the veins of a living creature.

GREAT THREAD! keep it coming!
What's the equipment your using? I have been thinking about seeing a thread like this; I like trying to see the small stuff down in the sump.

Would also like to see a microscopic picture of what skimmate looks like magnified, to see what life is exported.

Thanks, good sharing.
:thumbsup:
