I use a sony nex 7. It was my first DSLR in 30 years. It's actually a mirror less system and about a 1/3 smaller than DSLR. A few negatives, not great in low light and not a lot of lenses available for it. Wiser move would probably have been Canon. So if I'm around, in 30 more years, and time for a new camera then I'll get a Canon. Canon has a great macro lens also.
I use the kit lens, 18-5mm. It's not a macro lens but works out well. Because it's a mirror less system and somehow images get magnified 1 and 1/3 so it's more like a typical 85 mm lens at full extension. My kids gave me the 18-200 mm lens as a present but the focal length is like a foot away which makes it not very useable in the tank for coral shots. The favia pictures were easy to take because they are very near the front of the tank so with the 18-55 mm kit lens, there was almost no cropping. And you can see the bow front which makes it really challenging to get macros (I'd complain about it but it's not in my nature to complain)

I had to order a new keyboard cause my drool messed up my last one. How big is the space invader now
You guys all know that I never complain. Just not part of my personality. But, man o man, Schnitz posts pics of his skim mate from his protein skimmer and like a dozen comments.
Just ordered some blue LED actinics so I can now make my pictures all blue, maybe that will work to get some response.
In the meantime, last picture from this morning. My first symphillia (I think the spelling is correct). Again, it was taken with t5 only so this is as blue as I can make them.
And for any of you that have been looking at my pics, thank you.

Trying to figure out blue leds and t5's and photoshop elements. Certainly the effect is pretty but not quite what i am looking for. Thinking about purchasing Lightroom and seeing if that will make it easier to correct the photos so they look more like what I see.
These three are from tonite:
I think the meteor chyphastrea polyps look cool though
This last one is a different coral from the first, its sitting near the first one and again I think the meteor cyphastrea polyps are awesome.

I don't know these look pretty good to me. I can't shoot with just blues on, white balance comes out terrible. If my white LEDs are blended with the blues it's fine, and when the t5s are on, even better. But to me, the pics never match what my eyes register, the pics are always better and can discern mor colors than my eye can pick up under my lights...
