When you finally decide there is nothing in the tank trying to eat you!

Awesome shot! How do you set your white balance? Do you use a grey card?

Thanks, I leave my white balance set to "cloudy" on my Nikon, it works for my lights.

Thanks Fadi, it's easier when you have a sitting target.

It's hard to explain, only I have the feel of the tank.
I got in from work this evening and the tank looked more vibrant, different in a good way.
Things I did, the s tank was filled 9 days ago, the tank always sulks after a random water change! 40 litres so less than 10%.
I stopped dosing the C E about 2 weeks ago, a bit too much cyano, mostly now gone, I started at a lower dose 2 days ago.
Who cares when things look this happy?!

Go me!

Thank you!

Talking of tanks, we had a happening in the s tank!
I got in from work and the tank was bubbling,, small bubbles, to big to be really useful.
The old sand bed is producing the bubbles!
Ok, seeing as it doesn't have a journal, day 1, I had 3 tubs of the old sand bed in the sump of the big tank, about 10 years old, a course sand / fine gravel layer went over it, the old sandbed is doing something?
Inhabitants all good!

9 days old.

Pull up a beer, it just sort of rambles on!

Good timing though, I got distracted yesterday so missed a pic, 2 days in, it has gone darker but we nearly had a polyp today!

I will turn it through 180 degrees later so I can get a pic of the side I can't see, it has a spot reserved!

I don't take pics of the cynarina because it is at an angle.
At this point, 6 inches across but hunched!?
It has the smallest little cone of a skeleton you can imagine (almost)!
It lives in it's own little cove and there is a small bit of branch rock that stops the skeleton moving out into the display more, something moved the skeleton sideways!

... that would be the flame's "oh poop" face!

Thanks.

Due to the fact that the new yellow wrasse hits the sand hard as soon as I move the cover sideways I will frag this later!
Precious (extra precious, I love them all) little tip, seeing as it is all that is alive from a 2 inch WILD frag, I have re stopped any wild frags, they don't do my water!?

That is high as I can put it so it is this colour, growing well!
