I had dropped my 90 mm macro lens on our limestone floor and separated the telescoping parts. So I superglued the lens plastic casing at a fixed focal length, in other words, I can not focus except by moving the camera body back and forth. So I have to move my tripod to focus, yes that is kind of hard. But I think I am just starting to get the hang of it. Anyway just a few more pics with my repaired lens. Oh, I took it the camera store and they said it was not repairable, so atleast I somewhat salvaged the lens for coral shots.:

just went through your thread and had to say, your tank is absolutely stunning and you have some amazing skills. it's nice to see very large colonies of your le corals that go for $100s like the red Dragon. maybe I missed it but what camera do you use? and sorry to hear about your lenses. we definitely need that fits lol and hopefully someone can id your blue steel milli for sure lol. just getting into spa now with the new tank, was never able to keep them before, so I am of no help lol. keep up the great work and keep the pics coming!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much, I get excited when anyone notices my pics. I also was motivated by tanks and pics of beautiful coral particularly sps Just did not know that it would be such a long odyssey to get there. And even when things go well, always concerned about the next potential disaster. It's not that I am paranoid , but its corals and one needs a certain amount of paranoia to maintain the vigilance and consistency necessary for their maintenance. And I could spend the day either staring or taking pics of my coral. Everything about a reef tank is mesmerizing . Oh and I might be paranoid at least a little

The good news is the Tyree blue matrix is growing, the bad news is I can't get a clear photo of the colony behind it with the cool orange polyps

A couple of pics from today:
skinny pearlberry (yes I made that up, in fact about 5 minutes ago. Most correct color is on the left side, more muted green and blue but that's what top down pictures do sometimes and that is give you an intensity that you never see from the front)
reef tek starburst
Red hyacinth (kinda like the red planet, less deep coloration and more like a light pink/red and no green)
Mr Pacman ( sold to me as a 1/4 inch frag for I think like $60 bucks, still coloring up nicely)
Super fluorescent pink millie ( spreading its wings, so to speak)
bright flourescent green acro from reef raft (kind of has blue tips but only if you squint and use your imagination)
darth maul prorites (I have no idea how to spell any of that)
very cool chalice, no name
baby blue tenuis ( I think it is a tenuis but not really sure, maybe I should call it a baby blue acro, that's safer)
Aquamarine jewel (trimmed a little but coloring up pretty mightily--is mightily a word, not sure)

Wow!! Very nice tank!!
I like how you have the name of everything as you go. I started to read the first to pages and then just started to look at all the pictures for the rest of this topic. One thing I didn't see was a front view of the whole tank. Maybe I missed it.
Also, how many gallons is this tank?
I hope to achieve something like this some day in the future.
