i thought id give a quick update on the tank. we've finally reached optimal params with nitrates and phosphates staying at a steady 0. we're pretty happy since we dont run a skimmer, so this is big for us.
on a different note we bought a few magnifying glasses (loupes) for fun, and of course started using it to take a look at our tank up close. to take it a step further we put the loupes up to the lens' of our phones and point and shoot to snap some macro shots. heres a look at our results with spending $5 to go macro.

we'd love to get other pics but the loupes have to be really close to their objects to be in focus so no other sps macros for now...
