Playing with the macro lens and Snapseed again. Toying around with sharpening and structure. The GSP close up is pretty cool

Great read on oxidizers. For water clarity it sounds better then carbon as carbon is removing trace elements.

Macro shots looks great. Wish I could get better pictures but think I’m slowly improving. It’s the blue lights that make it hard and my tanks don’t even look blue

Thanks @Crabby48

So far the oxydator has been great for water clarity. I run GAC as well since I have softies. My ORP average has been much higher too. If that's good or bad I can't tell. But assume it is good.

For the blues I have been using a couple tricks I learned here in R2R. The first one is the small yellow and orange filter lenses for my phone. The one I have also came with the macro lens. They get most of blues out.

And then the second is editing the pictures in Snapseed and playing with both the Saturation and Warmth sliders. Snapseed looked daunting to me, but turned out to be a very easy app to use.

New year resolution? Cover my overflow with this Monti. So far so good. Slow and steady growth but long way to go

Well. Here is the progress on this one goal.

Stretching out nicely

 

[polyppal]

what overflow?!?

 

[Lasse]

Well done with the overflow

Well. Here is the progress on this one goal.

I did not intentionally put monti on my overflow, it just reached out there when the front of the tank got too crowded.

But now it is trying to cover up my overflow grill. Bit of a constant battle, so beware. I guess it isn't much different than coralline. I wish the weir was glass and not (Red Sea) plastic.

Thanks, will keep an eye out for the weir, its getting close now!

A few 2022 pics:

Feeding time! (I might have killed my leather by trimming it too much. Hopefully not). Also got rid of my center monti. Thinking what to replace it with.

To the Tang police: "these are not the tangs you are looking for....you can go about your business...move along"

and a special appearance by the lady that never leaves her place behind the overflow...she looks PO!

And to close, some zoa's that have really taken off.

The color in your tank is trippy. Combing along nicely

Implementing zome cheap zoa diversity. (Only orange ones before)

The progression seen in your build thread is awesome -- giving me inspiration.
Good job, man!

Thank you!

Didn't notice before but I thought this was fascinating. As the orange monti battles this chalice, the monti is actually taking the chalice's pink color where they meet!

Snapseed truly is amazing. Before and after I took the light reflection off! Bit blurry but does a great job in less than a minute.
One of the favorite parts of my tank. 6 different Montis at war

Loving the colors, good job.
