    OCReefMadness

    So I stopped by Tony's place today to pickup a cylinder. He is a nice guy who was willing to meet on my schedule and give me a good deal. I also stood in front of his SPS tank and drooled for a half hour before I was coherent. Seriously, if my tank could be half as nice as his I would be a boss...

    Why is it so hard to take GOOD pictures under LEDs?
