Filter or no filter? (I vote filter)

I "borrowed" these filters from our product guy @Zack@BRS and I'm never giving them back (sorry Zack)!

Also, I took these pics of Zack's tank using the macro filter: https://www.instagram.com/p/BllR4Xxnv1V/?taken-by=bulkreefsupply

Yes, I like snapseed, too... although sometimes I can get lost in that app with all the options!

My favorite shot I've ever gotten in my tank. Used a filter and processed with adobe lightroom

Great pics! I wish they made these for full size lenses (Nikon, not phone).

Filters ordered! What type of coral is that in the first two photos? Trumpet of some sort? I like those... a lot.

I bought a porthole style that i attach to my macro lens and submerge it. They're available on ebay

The main coral in the picture (the neon green and yellow ones) is actually a bunch of mini colonies of Space Invaders Pectinia. Chad is hoping they will all grow together into one giant colony.
