You can do it! Why does your profile say you are 36? So you can vote? ;Hilarious

I don’t stalk. I am just an information hound.

I don't stalk either...by the way your living room looks amazing, from the front yard.

Andrew's feet are super flat. Mine are like a ballet dancer. Even the doc was shocked that mine are so high arched and he got none of it!

They are down in a big flower pot. Cassie found them. I couldn’t get the camera low enough to show their faces. Problem is we have rain coming this weekend. I “think” I drilled a hole in the bottom of that pot though. I will keep an eye on them. I am waiting to get pecked in the back of my head by a nose-diving momma bird.

One of my sons has the same problem. My wife and I both have a distinctive arch, son's footprint looks like Maury revealed Sasquatch was the father.

Ahh smart. I have broken costa sunglasses I can take a Lense from. It’s blue tint on the front but more of a gray/ amber on inside

Since you said you would be using a camera, see if it will allow you to set the white balance. Basically, when you set the white balance, the camera uses a white object (submerged in your tank) to adjust the other colors, using white as a reference point. It creates a setting for taking pics in that particular light. It can be a pain on some cameras though. Further, if your camera allows you to shoot in RAW format, you can tweak the image colors further using image editing software. I am too lazy to do this myself though. Ha.

Staying safe, smart, and busy.

I did update a while back that I actually didn't lose anything but the corals when my tank spiked alkalinity, well, it appears I've gotten beyond that, picked up three new unknown frags from my LFS and they are looking spectacular, if small.

Also did myself a favor and picked up my new friend... pics in a little bit.
