Man your macro shots are outstanding. what gear do you use? Do you set them up in a smaller setup for shoots?

oh nice! I must have it too!
A took a few photos of some newer stuff. I had a bit of tank crash last time I was away as a return pump failed on one of my tables and it was stagnant for a few days, before I found out. OH well...time for some photos

All pictures are really nice with excellent coloring. Sorry about the tank crash, but it looks like you were able to recover pretty quick.

Great pics man. Im interested to know where you got your spa flex from? I'm looking to order about 50' worth of 1" spa flex.

Thanks.
I purchased it from a pool store in Hamilton. If your interested in the place send me a PM and I will look it up for you. Great selection of gate/ball valves there as well

Thanks. I lost quite a bit of stuff in that table along with a lot fish (no water movement is not a good thing). Luckily I got some great help and spent a few long nights fixing that problem along with a few others (I had to drain the entire 150g to fix a leaky bulkhead...that was a pain in the a$$). We also redid the plumbing in my sump which is a lot cleaner and provides me with more space. My phos jumped quite a bit so I was dosing lanathum chloride to get it back down which has a worked great. Also decided to start the biocubes as my nitrates were getting a little high (5-10ppm) for my liking
LPS and zoas loved the crash (my plate corals were gigantic) but the acropora not so much

This is a really interesting statement. So, LPS and Zoas like dirtier water. I wonder if this is why some of my zoa's are closing.BIGSHOW link said:LPS and zoas loved the crash (my plate corals were gigantic) but the acropora not so much
550G is HUGE so I can't imagine the long nights and the challenges.

I think the general consensus is they do prefer less clean water then acropora but there are always some LPS and I would assume some zoas (don't have much experience with to many of them) that do thrive in cleaner "acropora" water conditions. Likely they were pretty "pumped" up with the dirty water but I don't think long term they would of been happy

Tank crashes are always tough. Good to hear youre back up though.
I'm insterested in the lanathum chloride and how you were administaring it etc
I'll see if I can source the spa flex locally before I contact you. But thatnks though.

+1 on dosing lanathum chloride, would like to know how it worked out in your system full of sps and livestock
