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...

Holey Crap!! Tank is looking pretty good, Christy!! Thanks for posting addict.

Your Regal Tang actually is blue.. all this time I thought you had a rare purple morph..

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.

Ah, I realize that there's another thread, but the point is, if you're going to make mention of something like "Wow does this piece of hardware ever rock! Wow! Wow! It's so awesome! You guys have to try it!" Then take the extra 30 seconds to make mention of what you're talking about instead of assuming that everyone knows already... because six months from now if someone is searching through old threads they won't have to try to cross reference it then (which at that point will be nearly impossible).
