Megabite's 180 Reef - Round 2

The other fish going into a feeding frenzy, when I heavily broadcast feed the tank, got my last cbb eating...
That's what I've been doing and it picks here and there. Fingers crossed!
 
New page so time for a photo dump. Getting use to the new cam.

What I've found is that I can really ramp up the shutter speed to shoot sharp pictures handheld and compensate with a high ISO. Pictures are sharp and not seeing much noise. I'm really happy so far with the D6 mkii.

All pics shot with these settings handheld and while lights were ramping down with only blues on.
Tomorrow I will do some with the whites, maybe try some video, and try some fish pics.

You can see the difference in the FOV and also the DOF. It doesn't hurt any that you have beautiful healthy corals.

These are beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks man. I'm also shooting with a high f-stop to get most of the coral in focus. I can really get a lot of DOF using a smaller f-stop. This is a 2.8 lens.

Yes, having healthy corals and running ozone for clear water helps A LOT. Can't wait until these turn into colonies.

Got a Copperband a few weeks ago. Doing okay but I don't think it's eating enough.

You get a CB a few weeks ago and we're just finding out about it now? That won you a level demotion. You're now 1.99 unless. @Fish Styx , please take note.

I promised the CB that I would show him off only if he eats. Bad CB tricking my by eating one mysis!

Another demotion for a bad excuse followed by a bad joke. 1.97
 
Three softie pics as I'm learning to use the new camera. It's a ton better capturing more accurate white balance and using higher ISO without digital noise.

Sooo…Gonis are softies now. Interesting. 🙃
 
Thanks Matt! You need to talk to Chris as he was handing demotions like Skittles. I went to bed teary eyed.

Well, they are soft on top. Duh! 🤪

I do. Purchased at Radio Shack a few decades ago.

I say that if you get down to lvl 1.5, you lose the "pro" status ;-) what say you @Minifoot77 ?
