Yay Android lol! Thanks for the photo tips.
Hey can I ask a question.
What do you think about the popbloom h54 for a tank.
Hey buddy, I live in NH I have prob30 maybe forty berghia nudibranch s and some over 1 inch ! I know I can’t save them , and I know how much they cost. If you know anyone that wants some please let me know ! I truly feel bad now because I have put a bunch in my ten gallon with all the aptasia left and it will probably last over night. Then… if I can help anyone with these let me know.
I have been watching your channel since the beginning
Johnny…😢 just feel bad
Thank You Thank You Thank You for this. Lol it’s impossible to see squat when the blues are on.
I’m going to watch this, I hate filming or taking photos of my tank
If you don’t have a lens cover in a pinch, shooting the photo through an orange pill bottle will work, too!
My phosphates are 3.6 😢. Can you help a mess out?
Hello teacher! What u say about white and cool white chanel for reef is it compelsory for corals or we can turn it of
I just change my iPhone to portrait and it's perfect
I use a orange filter don’t have to turn off blue lights
I keep a small rechargeable LED flashlight by the aquarium. It works well if I don’t want to mess with the lights.
Stopped watching after your Android comment. Doesn’t matter what I prefer, I’m not here for this. I can redd this on Reddit whenever I like.
Always wondered how to do this. Thank you.
Yet another great video. I'm just waiting for a phone camera lens set. So show up so I can take some amazing pictures. I'm getting one with Multiple lenses, including macro lens. Wasn't too expensive and well worth the investment.
Thank you for this video. The blue blob photos are a massive trigger for me when people are asking for ID and help. You cannot see anything.
Poor Snail 🐌 😂
I’m in a pickle when it comes to photos of my tank, no literally it looks like pickle juice😢. Algae bloom like crazy and I don’t know what to do
I’ll stick with my iPhone or I’ll take out the big boy camera lol 😂 love the videos Logan keep up the great work
How on earth do you still have that firefish in the Sea Cardinal without a lid?
Great video
