I TOLD you I was going to do this!
So I'm making a trip up Island today, and I decide to see for myself. I've never seen Christy's tank, and while her web page and blog are really well done, informative, and creative, the pictures do her tank no justice! Nice wavy polyps fully extended, beautiful patches of various corals growing all over her rocks, but all we have been able to see is a tank shot at a distance, and some of the really neat macros that Christy has taken. I "just happened" to have my camera with me and I remembered I promised Ruth and Rory I would post some wide angle shots from a lens she really wants, and at the same time I thought it might be time to show Christy's tank with a little perspective, if not even a little distortion... this lens is amazing folks... Christy's tank as never seen before...
      Even these pictures don't do it justice... so you've got a couple of sloughing colonies... you're doing it right... get to the bottom of it... but don't panic and do anything rash to screw it up now... you've done a fantastic job! So we came to the conclusion that Christy has been staring into her tank for too long and that she doesn't need the advice of fellow Canreefers, but rather that of a psychiatrist...

What magical lens do you speak of, reeferaddict?
You can't make some kind of ringing endorsement like "This lens is amazing, folks" and then not make mention what it is in the same post!  Tank doesn't look so bad to me Christy, it has a long way to catch up to mine Hang in there - it may be too late for me but I don't think it's too late for you yet. Good luck!

Yup, looks fine to me, even if there are a few unhappy corals.
