    Nifty fifty? Is it a fixed 50mm lens?
    I call it magic plastic.

    Thanks guys :) new to this thing called photography :p

    Yep, 50mm canon f1.8 lens. Very sharp and a great bang for our buck!

    It does however feel really cheap..

    Doesn't matter if it feels cheap when you take pics like that!

    Cichlids ate the eggs :( but it was expected i guess.

    the canon F1.8 lens is freaking awesome. especially for the price it sits at. it is very recommended :)

    Ok so the algae has almost all disappeared! :)

    Did a little rescaping today.. so it looks a little different to this now. Some cellphone pics below:

    here is a shot to show how deep the tank is and the emersed polygonum growth on the top :)

    This is clearly the best scape in SA at the moment.
    Well done Richard!

    You guys don't know how lucky you all are. If Richard was able to enter the APSA comp, he'd win. Guaranteed.

    Stunning scape buddy. And I'll agree with Boebie... Best scape this country has ever seen.
