Thanks! Possibly but I think my skimmer does most the work.

Sweet which one? I haven't noticed a problem with any corals and the seahorse, but it doesn't hang onto the sps corals very often and when it does they don't seem to bother him. I have two Tunzes but they alternate and pulse to prevent hard steady flows and they turn down in the evening. I'm currently using a quiet one 4000 until my RD arrives which will be plumbed into the two outputs instead of just the one.
I was going for something different so I'm glad you like it, everyone gets alone fine, if you're a little careful with the species and size selection it's pretty easy to do.

New FTS is so beautiful! Water looks pristine too. What's that purple SPS up top? A Stylo? I really need to learn my names...if even the common ones.

Thanks, yes it's a stylo.

Do you edit out background etc in photoshop? These look fantastic. Some of them have that electron microscope look.

Yes, my macros usually come out with very dark backgrounds and I usually change them to be completely black or some kind of gradient, I find the effect is better and the background is less distracting. They were all taken with a 105mm macro lens. Thanks!
