What lenses do you shoot with? I can’t even consider dropping 1k for the 80mm macro. Do you think an extension tube for the 10-55 would be worth it? I saw a few on amazon for around $30

I'm using a XF16-55mm f2.8 but I'm saving for the XF80mm macro crazy expensive... yes... BUT the quality is amazing I've tested it a while back, I have an extension tube from amazon as well but it's worthless very hard to focus :/

Hello everyone,

update... and some pics.

Lately I have been adding a lot of organics into the tank like Amino Acids and coral foods to try and keep organics UP, Kh has been falling so Core7 dosage has gone up quickly which is good and bad LOL

everything is growing apart from 2 acros I lost maybe due to previous problems... I think it's normal will see...

I have been controlling S.G. quite well plus all the elements are in check, so no water changes for more than 3months :D

So let's see the pics, hope you enjoy them.

Thanks again everyone glad your enjoying the new photos.

I'm using a Fuji X-T20 with Fuji 80mm f2.8 macro lens and a Fuji 16-55 f2.8 WR lens

All taken RAW and post processed in Lightroom.

Small update.

Everything is fine :)
Elements consumption is very high at the moment so I will be changing over to Calcium Reactor, Sr and I are also being deplited quite fast I'm dosing 100ml of Strontium per week and 6.45ml/week of Iodine, this will go up with the change to calcium reactor but that's ok... at 53ml/day of Core7 is becoming unsustainable LOL

some macro shots as usual:
