Carla

Thanks, the black background was suggested by the tank builder, and it is definitely cool.

Interesting... mine had a bit different color but probably the lighting.  Very attractive for sure!

I would agree on the lighting aspect. I have another variety of the SSC, but it is the "Kush". Both are in high light, + 350 PAR, so we will see what the other turns into when it grows up.

Very cool. Something else to add to my wish list 😍

I have had this thing for 3.5 years, it started really slow!! The frag I got from him was about 1/2" back in 2015.

Looking great Carla!  What is that one in the last pic?

Pineapple Express Millepora from Inland Corals. Thank you :).

Can you tell me the name of this one?  I'd like to find it.

This is a GARF Bonsai. I got it in July from Mindblowing Corals down in Denver. This coral has been around forever!!! Watch alk. swings tho!! I had a nice colony back when I had my 300 and my stupidity killed it 😞

These were freehanded @ f6.3. Most of them anyways. I had the tripod down there and then just got carried away..............................lol.

I wouldn't say better.  Mine may have more close-up detail, but yours have great color and composition.  I haven't found the best settings yet on my Nikon to capture the true colors on my corals.  Still working at it!

This lens and I have a love hate relationship

Much better than mine..................lol. thanks for posting

 Thought I would post a couple of macro pics for you all :).

Canon 7D Mark II w/ Canon 100mm Macro lens

Thanks for the update and I am glad things went well. I wish I could have made it tho, looks like it was a ton of fun

Hope it all went well! Sorry to hear about the family thing tho, hope everyone is ok

Hey Carla - sorry you didn’t make it to fragdest this year. Probably saved you a bit of coin though 😁. Maybe next year!

Well thanks, things just didn't work out for this year. Things go good for you all?

I would kill to live that close to Glacier National Park. My favorite. Along with Waterton lakes, Banff/Jasper. If I could make a living up there I'd move. And that is one nice tank. Must be hard to find stuff local. Missoula is a bit of a drive.

Missoula, Spokane, Seattle, I will drive .

Thanks  

A couple of end of the month pics while all you people are at Fragfest :). I stayed home and saved my money............................lol.

Sounds awesome.  Throw up some pics of the rest of the system sometime if you get a chance.  Always need new setups to be envious of 😃

So........................... Here is the new Stealth 44" sump, Eschopps X350 Skimmer and Fluval SP6 return pump. I am still running my 75 gallon refugium, and in the background of the last pic, the 44 gallon Brute is full of 40 gallons of Kalk for my ATO.
