Do you think a 15 or 20lb tank would fit in the 6025 stand?

27” and 27.6” respectively. Want to decrease my CO2 tank changes.

It really depends on your regulator... there's 30" of vertical space available in the cabinet. my regulator's gauges extend about 2" above the top of the bottle, and my flow meter extends 4" above. I couldn't fit either with my current setup, but it could be done with some tweaking.

Thanks!

A good AF macro is a solid investment for an aquarist. What kind of camera do you shoot with?

Sony A7iii

It's an awesome camera, but I only have a couple of good lenses for it.

Yep, great camera. I shoot with an riii. Back when I was shopping for a macro, it was between the Sony 90mm and the Sigma 105mm. I ended up with the Sony, but the Sigma is supposed to be fantastic and is really reasonably priced.

If it were on sale today........... I probably just missed all the best sales of the year as well. Hard decision between the 105 and 70mm for my purposes.

Are these M. Parva? Thinking of getting some for my tank. I love the neons but I just cannot get a healthy batch and I’m tired of spending money to watch them wither away and die. I currently have a nice shoal of Peacock Gudgeons and I have a pair that keep spawning. Trying now to attempt to raise the fry once they hatch.

fish pics

I don't know what's up with the spots in their eyes. I can't tell if they're injuries or some sort of fish cataracts, or what...

I sold some photo gear and bought that 35mm I mentioned lusting over a few posts ago. Just an amazing lens, and though I've mostly been putting it to other uses, I think it brings a new and interesting feel to the fish portraits...

 

[minorhero]

These are some amazing shots, but that last pic is epic! Well done! Is this an F1.4 or 1.2 lens?

Thanks! It's the Sony GM 1.4

Some photos from today when the powerhead was really cooking (it runs really high for about a half hour each day to help clear crap that's settled on the sand):

Another entry in the ongoing series of what my wife calls, "the most thoroughly photographed group of fish in all of human history"...
