Great pics...those are some happy gonis!! :D

Yeah, except for my clowns host the purple one... so it gets a little upset sometimes lol. I swear it's getting much more tolerant to the clowns always fussing with it though. It's funny watching the Ocellaris bring it large chunks of food for the last 6 months... he just hasn't figured out that it's not nem.

^^ that's hilarious!! I'm hoping my clown doesn't pull a similar move with my pink goni.

And wow, another nice pic...you're definitely getting the hang of this lol.

Actually my friend shot that one when he was over teaching me the photography ropes... he's REALLY good!

I have a pink also... hoping it grows up fast!

Picked up some pieces at a local frag swap this weekend. It excites me because we don't even have a LFS in my community. So actually being able to see corals in person, then buying them without needing to have them shipped, is a novel idea lol.

Picked up an Orange Crush... also a Strawberry Shortcake that is visible in the background:

Orange wall hammer... actually has a tad bit of green in it:

I have really started loving Euphyllia so I am digging this garden!

Yeah, me too man! I don't have anything rare, but I like them nonetheless.

Wow! The photo edited is really showing!!!

I'm getting there. I take about 60 photos and maybe get a couple of good ones. I'm really trying hard in editing to keep the integrity of what the corals actually look like in my tank. It's real easy to simply crank up the vibrance and saturation to make the corals pop, but that's not realistic. I'd feel like I was cheating you guys if I did that. I want you to see them how I do every day:). The hardest thing for me is focusing. I don't know if that's the most common thing people struggle with in photography, but unfortunately it's the one thing you really can't fix in editing.

What a awesome build. I'll have to get my nephew to come over and scope it out to get ideas.

Great setup

Thanks Bob! Sooooo when you say have your nephew come over... do you mean come over to this forum/thread or is he local to me and you want him to come over to my house? Because I would be more than happy to have him over to check it out in person!
