Congrats to Uglyknob for winning September 2022 POTM

Thanks! This was a cell phone shot in pro mode. My mirrorless can't hang in that light. Like most shots that you get lucky on, it just took patience. Since halfbeaks don't move herky jerky, I could bump the iso and cut the shutter. The halfbeak was easy to get to cooperate, cause they like the top and they always come to me when I'm at the tank. Biggest problem is other camera hogs... clowns and garras. Cause they get in my way. I've attached another that I like from that set.

"herky jerky" found that really funny. Will def be keeping that in word bank.

great shot and I am sure skill was involved not just luck and patience.

Do you have a thread with a FTS?

That is a 200g system (red sea reefer 750) with co2, full of plants, ei dosing, and it is mainly for the clowns (7 of them).

I don't really have many full tank shots. Lots of pics of the fish. I need to actually set one up and do it right. I do have a couple of quick grabs in the planted tank thread, starting here:

POST PICS OF YOUR PLANTS AND PLANTED TANKS HERE

Dang looking at these make me want to set up a planted tank again. Been years since I have had heavily planted community tank. Miss my big driftwood I had in it too

You can see I've actually got that Ludwigia cut back pretty far in that pic.
