Photography/Video

Here are a few macro shots of some of the corals that I took yesterday. Can you identify the species?

I had to build some new Top Down Photo Boxes ( http://www.melevsreef.com/node/42 ) this week, so I made a new one for myself as well. Enjoy the results. I should point out that a lot of the colors you're seeing now are far better than a month ago.

I took a few pictures today and thought you might enjoy them. Everything was shot with a 50mm f/1.8 lens.

A 50g water change was performed tonight.

I was really impressed by this short film, done by Dustin Adamson of OceanShutter.com



Watch it full screen to really appreciate it. May your bandwidth play nicely.

The Psychedelic Mandarin is one of my favorite fish. I became enamoured with one early on when I got into reefkeeping, and kept one successfully in my 29g even when others pointed out that it wasn't an ideal situation. My 29g was full of liverock, and I fed the tank often. It seemed quite content, and didn't appear to be emaciated. Basically I was the exception to the rule, and while "melev might be able to do it" it wasn't recommended for small tanks.
