Beautiful everything!

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I don't update as much as I should but wanted to let everyone know that even though I always do weekly waterchanges, I have so many large fish and feed heavily that my nitrates were way too high. So after many hours of deliberation and reading I decided to go with a Pax-Bellum macroalgea reactor.
After 3 plus weeks I harvested my first batch of algea and was so pleasantly surprised that befor adding the reactor my NO4 was over 50ppm and 4 weeks later is 10ppm.

I also had a small mishap during new years weekend where my coral got so heavy that it toppled over causing a cooler full of frags.
The tank is doing fantastic once again and I added a trio of Bimacs anthias thanks to Terence Fugazzi's tip while here in town. Thanks again Terence.

The Pearlberry is now 34 months old from when I bought it as a small frag, March of 2014.

This is the first time I have seen your tank and it's absolutely stunning. I do have a question that I haven't seen in the thread. What kind of camera and what lenses do you use for your photos? I saw where you mentioned you iso's and I'm going to play with that looking for all the photo advice I can get! Thankyou in advance and again I hope one day my tank can come close to comparing to yours.

I use a Canon XSI with stock lens and a 100mm macro lens.
