Ashburn's 187g endgame tank

I agree, but my work process would mean taking out my DSLR, finding the marco lens, uncap everything, setting up tripod, setup wb, making sure my hands are clean to touch the camera... etc etc.. and i'm a trigger happy kind guy, i usually ended up 20+ additonal photos for 1 shot, so you can imagine the post edit would be nightmare to pick out the one that I really liked. at the end, entire process can take more than 2hrs. ( oh yeah and put all the gear back in the case and not to get any salt water on them is another challenge for me )

then again it's just me. I'm sure @RandyC, @Ibn and @kinetic does this better than me with their DSLR.

Stop taking 20+ pictures for 1. Get the money shot the first time. ;) And your white balance shouldn't be changing that much unless you're tweaking your light settings all the time.

If you're a Lightroom user, you can save your previous settings and apply that on import so your post is very minimal.

I have no problem with you doing all that work for good photos.

dual mp60 added to both side of the 187g. putting gyre pump on hold to see if mp60 does better job. currently mp60s are dialed at 20% at both side while gyre is at 90%. and shows more flow.
 
Light upgrade
Dual ap700 over the main tank

I think you need 2 more ap700s for the sides [emoji6]

Nah I need 2 more ap700 for the frag tanks so I can phase out a350 I think they are dying. Lights aren’t bright as it used to be. Or the newer lights are just brighter.
