I have big news to share here at Mantis Reef, I purchased a new camera and have been taking pictures all week.

I got a Cannon EOS R with a Cannon RF 35mm Macro lens after taking the advice from Reefing buddy @FarmerTy, thank you very much Ty for the recommendation.

I'm looking at a Cannon RF 100mm macro lens as well, and that will be my next purchase when I recover from purchasing the camera body.

This new camera, along with my underwater dive camera make a perfect combination for capturing great Reef photos. Only limitation now will be me and photographic skills.

Anyway that's enough talking, now it's time for some pictures.

Do you dose any additional additives? Trace elements? Aminos? How about water changes?

@MantisReef

I’m really curious about this as well. Do you carbon dose or use biopellets? What do you dose to your tank that gives you all those incredible colors?
