Beautiful tank and magnificent pic taking!

 

[cozer]

I need a good Macro lens :) But then id have no excuse ;) :D
I have the D80 as well , Would you pick that lens again ?

I like this lens pretty much. Although I am still looking for a 105mm, but quite expensive......need to save more money for that! Maybe a birthday gift to myself, lol!
How much is this 60mm there in oz? This one costs NTD 16,800 (~AUD 600) in Taiwan while the 105mm is ~AUD 900

 

[Luke]

The 60 is about $420 the 105 is around $900 +
I've also heard good things about the Tamron 90 F2.8 , And its cheap ,
Well about $350
Edit : Sorry mate , I just realized that im probably hijacking your Tank journal a bit :(

Cozer tank is looking stunning. Are you going to put one of the new gen illumagics over it?

 

[Mitchell Codey]

looking at this tank just makes me so emotional about the lack of quality of local livestock....

Everyone around the world seems to be able to get these amazing collections fo zoos montis and chalice corals except us!

end rant!

congratulations on a beautifull tank ;)

Wow Cozer, beautiful!

Im loving that green millipora and superman monti, wonderful.

What are you using to take the shots?

Oh, and your Zoo's are not bad either :p

 

[cozer]

I am planning to frag this red hornet into several pieces soon. This one is really gorgeous when you can see in person. A "Must have" species!!

Hi Cozer, the picture of the clam and clowns is cool.
I like the pastel white palys and your red hornets too.
Any tips you can share about how to grow superman monti... I have a monti too, I think it might be like your forest fire.
Another question, do you run activated carbon in your filter?
Thanks !!!

Some amazing looking corals Cozer - can you give us a rundown on your water parameters?

In my opinion, superman monti prefer strong water flow. Midium to high light deamnd. Spread easily when they accommodate to the water condition. Too well condition of the red polyps might cover the blue background and make the blue less intense in color.
As for activated carbon, no, I do not run activated carbon in my tanks. But I am planning to add some bamboo carbon for test. lol.
