Nice! Orange filter ftw!

Hahahaha. Ikr?! I've been too quiet. lol. I've just been seriously tied up all day. Also still a bit uncomfortable after last night's drama in Frank's house. I feel really terrible about that still, because they are such nice people.

Hey, I played right into it all amigo! Not your fault.

Icecap Aquarium Photography Stackable Multi-Lens Kit unboxing:

Opinion on packaging:

Solid and effective. Everything was cushioned properly in a soft foam that I believe is biodegradable, and everything arrived intact. The lenses themselves have their own plastic cases to protect them, too.

Contents:

Two filters: one orange and one yellow. A clip to mount everything over your phone's camera array, a seriously cool looking wide angle lens, and a lint free lens cloth. The addition of the lens cloth is a nice touch, IMO. The lens is metal (I believe aluminum), solid, and of nice quality. It reminds me of a high-end camera lens. It even comes with a pinch-to-remove cap like you'd see on expensive camera lenses.

Edit, post use review:

The orange lens is a game changer! Overall, very pleased with the purchase. The one caveat being the compatability with my phone. I have an S21 Ultra that has 5 lenses in its camera array. So, the device is not large enough to cover all of them. This makes it impossible to zoom in very much with the attachment on.

Here are some pics of it, in advance of some pics from it (see what I did there?!):

Me too, and probably more so than everyone else. I played into it and got carried away. That won't happen again, outside of here. Likewise, I think we should also get control over the chaos here too. Fun is fun, and nobody loves nonsense more than I do, but we shouldn't lose sight of why we're here. Years ago, I was a very active member of another forum that was very popular in its day (ahem). I left because it got toxic, but leaving there was painful. I'm happy here, and coming back to the forums reminded me of how much of the hobby had been missing as a result. I don't want to alienate anyone or lose that feeling of community again. Make sense?

Okay, you asked for them, here they are! The orange lens, for note, is a game changer!! MOAR Pootie Monday!! I have to work on my photography skills. lol. I couldn't get one with her dorsal fin fully up. Her markings and yellow ccoloration is vibrant and stunning for a convict her age. She's also a chonker, so I tried to get a belly shot. Hahaha

I've got my two Halichoeres.

 

[rmorris_14]

Very true.

One day I will have room. I have very specific taste and don’t like to pay high retail for new things. So I wait for the right thing to hit me for the right price.. it usually takes a long time. I went two years just get bar stools for our kitchen lol.

Patience pays off. That is, after all, a critical part of this hobby. Also, I totally feel you on the bar stools! I couldn't see spending what amounted to a small fortune for the ones I liked when I did the reno / remodel. So, I ordered fabric and stuff and "made" my own out of the old ones we had.

Good morning, Team Styx and Happy Tuesday! I didn't check my mail delivery yesterday, but when I went out this morning I opened the mailbox to a pleasant surprise. The latest edition of Coral arrived! I wonder if there's a centerfold for those sexy shrimps <giggity>.

Are those golden glasswares precursors to bongs?

Anything can be a bong if you set your mind to it...
