    Monte Carlo for the top of the first inner 2.. so it looks like grass hills.. microsword all around to make it continuous with the tank beside it... haven't thought about the 2 outer sides yet.

    Yupppp. My apartment restrictions have not discouraged me from aquarium keeping. I wanted another 3 gallon to sit next to the one I have currently. I got 4 easy planters and some spider wood from Aquarium Co-Op and pieced it together in 5 minutes. Now to get me some plants. Stay tuned.

    I'll make a second post to best answer your question. You could get fairly good photos with a phone if you have enough light. Blast the fish tank with your best lights. Your phone will dial your iso down so you can get a better quality picture in the end. If it doesn't which in most cases it doesn't (iPhones tend to overexpose by 1 or 2 stops) you'll have to do it yourself by tapping the phone screen and dragging your finger down to adjust it. Follow my tips in the video Cory linked with the fingernails to get as close as you possibly can but not limiting your movement so you can follow the fish. Try some amazon macro clip ons, if you have prime, try them all LOL

    Thanks Cory! I've learned tons since that video and although a lot of practices are still the same some techniques have changed. At one point I was fascinated with using a Flash. I have a 61MP of a Rainbowfish that kinda blows my mind using a high powered flash. I went from taking spotlight photos of individual fish with black or blown out backgrounds to doing more fish tank shots with fish in them. For every single one of these I still use the same lens, a 90mm Macro. Having a proper 1:1 ratio (or more) magnification for these tiny fish is key for a nice photo next to having good light. I've always preached about having enough light to keep your ISO as low as possible. When I film at the store, I borrow the lights from the aquariums next to the one I'm filming to give me more light on top of bringing my own little 12w light. Once you figure out the whole ISO, Shutterspeed, Aperture settings you'll understand light and everything will flow.

    The Boys, New season of Fargo is coming out, it's a great series if you haven't started that one. I'm just catching up with Better Call Saul.

    I can have serveral 5 gallons. Still a bummer, otherwise I'd get a 40B like the op. 🙂

    Did you get a chance to stop by Something Fishy's new store? I'm curious to see it. He was working on it before I left.

    Water lettuce would be my favorite next to Salvinia cucullata
  22. JimmyGimbal
    We just unboxed these the other week! Never kept them though but I've seen Danio's being kept together plenty of times. They are voracious eaters so make sure everyone get's their share.
  23. JimmyGimbal
