It's Micro 4/3ds, its a tiny lens. For Olympus or Panasonic Bodies. The only canon mount lens I have left is the 180 macro, which is fantastic.

Swapped out the AI Prime over the frag tank to a Kessil 160 Tuna Blue. Incredible light, gives me great options for photography. I've been picking up a lot of acro recently, and some really gorgeous colonies.

I got this millie from Reef Raft, not sure what its called, but it has at least 3 colours, and I am waiting for more :).


RR Milli




FragCave Pink Lemonade



FragCave Bright Yellow Acro


Unknown Acro (Looks like shortcake)



Pacman

Pink Matrix is thriving

Montipora Confusa frag (got a whole colony)


Two stunning acros from Aquatic log. One is bitonal, its incredible.

Kent. Aquavitro Iodine. So far this combo of additives has been incredible for my acropora, I have never had polyp extension so consistent and pronounced. The SPS barely look stony, they are all covered in hair.

Big difference shooting overhead under the Kessils. Love that I can turn the knob to the perfect colour for the shot.






My frag tank is way too full if anyone wants to make the trip up :p.

Stunning color and PE
I'm taking notes and looking much harder at the additives I'm adding to my tank.
I know I've got the light, the flow, the mature tank, just a few hundred more variables to dial in and I'll have color like yours.

Added a Cirrhilabrus lunatus to the wrasse family. It almost identical in coloration to the pintail, but has a crescent. The 2nd female is getting along very well, and is causing the male to do nuptual displays every dawn and dusk. I will need to get a picture of him with his fins extended and his full coloration. The female lunatus and cf. lanceolotus are getting along very well, and my harem is looking wonderful :). The 3 Sunburst Anthias are gorgeous, and they really like making an appearance when the blues are on. I love how docile they are.
