Definitely impressive changes since day 1 and for sure noticeable changes since last week even.

Thanks and sure has. No complaints for 11 weeks in the tank. I'm still surprised that there is actual growth you can see from week to week. Very fast grower.

Where is sits in the tank.

It's kinda weird how Keith ignores you on the Smorgasbord but then comes over here and pesters you.

That’s not true!
What camera are you using Orly?

Of course not, but it's fun messing with people.

Most of the pictures I've taken are with my Canon D7 and the more recent one is with a Canon R6 MKII. The lens used for the pics on both bodies is the Canon 100mm Macro 2.8 L.

This picture made me laugh. The fish were looking at my like they were plotting something.

They know you feed them... they were taking bets on which one would jump out so you'd feel sorry for them and dump in some food.

That's exactly what they were doing!

Was out and about with the Mrs. OG and went by the local LFS and picked up this a Cornbred's Monster ******* acro. Took a quick shot before lights out. It was still upset after unbagging and throwing it in the tank, but this thing really glows with the blues. I had to turn down saturation and highlights in post processing just to get the glow out of the pic.

Need to figure out where I'm going to place it. I'm thinking at about 400 par. Anyone have one to let me know if I'm in the ballpark with light?

What was the PAR it was under where you bought it?
