Sounds good man. When things settle we will get together for sure. Hope everything is getting better with work etc for ya cory.

How goes selling everything off? Making progress?
Ive sold about 600$ worth of coral thus far. Most leads go cold and nothing happens.

I actually let my stimulus get the best of me and made a trip up to see a guy in N.H for some killer deals on some goodies.

The crazy thing is I just got a new phone in after dropping mine (and nearly myself) down a 40ft waterfall Saturday trying to get a video. Anyways... I'm back one and dealing with attempting to see what is available to restore as far as photos and videos go. Everything is gone at the moment. @NY_Caveman hold me. For i have lost mine too :(

I also took the time to run a full set of tests, got the Nyos Mg test kit in. 1300 mG. Dosed to 1330. Rescaped the right side of the tank to make way for other plans.

I'll take photos tonight or tomorrow and share what new so far. I couldnt help myself at the deals I had available. I'll turn profit on them for sure.

It will pass. Sucks to lose progression shots, family, stuff with kalisha.. ya known the usual when u cascade an S8 down a waterfall. I lost everything. Unless I find some backup I'm not aware of, it's all gone. Meh.

Naturally, I just spent an hour taking photos of everything. :)

I keep laughing at myself because I have no control, I swear. Set up and awaiting a pack of acans inbound from a connection in South Carolina.

These, things, are, gonna, be, insane. I couldn't resist last week when he put up pics of the mother colonies and announced frag packs on a killer deal. Will update later once they acclimated and dips are done.

Maybe this will be my last round of corals. LoL. Maybe.

The lightning you have really makes them look great, that and your camera are awesome together
Just hydra 26hd's running ab+ modified with boosted greens and reds. Around 18% at peak. Cw is at 30 for comparison.

The samsung galaxy phones come with a Kelvin filter for most visual spectrums. So before I snap the photo, i can manually adjust for the blues, then focus, and crop afterwards.

Honestly none of my pics get color adjusted afterwards. What u see is how they look when I click the shutter.
