    I don't have them in my tank yet. They are in QT at the sellers shop. That was just a pic from reefbuilders.

    What's crazy is that is instantaneously changed color during the split. It used to all look like the bottom right part

    Super excited. Came home today and my Colorado Sunburst anemone split into 4. It was getting huge at about 10 inches partially expanded. Now it's more manageable in a 50 gal tank. Also picked up a pair of Stigmata Blennies from nicewrasse.com. He QTs everything in his system for 6 weeks...

    Picked up this bad boy a few weeks ago. Probably one of my favorite pictures to date. I love the shadows on the shroom. Actinics Whites:

    Thanks. As far as filtration I'm relying mostly on the liverock and sand in the tank. In the back chamber I have 2 packs of chemipure to help with misc phosphates. I also have filter floss on the two side overflows. Two weeks ago I also added a small skimmer to the back chamber because I...

    Thanks guys. I try. For every good pic there are dozens of blurry out of focus poorly colored pics. Photography is just like reefing. Requires lots of patience. I'm going to get a few full tank shots on Monday. My zoa garden is almost complete

    LPS: Some nice Acans I picked up from Mr. Polandsprings Still my favorite Chalice - WWC Sunrise (I'll be doing a side by side shot with the JF Trio soon) Invert: The Colorado Sunburst - Haven't taken a picture of this guy for a while, but it's atleast 6-7 inches big now and the color gets...

    So no full tank shot yet. No since in rushing it. The zoa garden is still growing out and the acros are still fraggy. I have gone a little more high tech with the tank in the last few weeks. I added a BM doser to keep up with my Alk/Calc needs instead of dosing by hand twice a day. I'm...

    This polyp keeps getting better looking. Picked it up from LA DD on a mixed rock. First pic is as close to real life as I can get with my camera and LEDs. Notice how white the sand and rock are and the coraline is actually purple. Second pic is full actinic on the Kessil a360. Looks...

    It's still pretty small, but once it's starts filling out that frag disc I'll make a cut.

    Got some better angles on a few pieces. The shrooms are getting pretty fantastic looking I'm hoping that is a green stripe starting to come in. It's definitely different that the surrounding area The next two are shrooms I just picked up. Cool metallic pink with green "marks"...

    yeah, that shutter speed also allows you to widen the depth of field (via aperature) so you don't have to be as precise with the focus. Nothing worse than getting everything right and loading the picture on the computer and realizing you have the side of the frag plug in focus instead of the coral.

    First off, I have a Pentax DSLR. I have a Tamron 90mm Macro lens that will let me get about 4-5 inches away from the object of interest. The macro lens really does all of the work. And most importantly I have a reliable solid tripod. The tripod is probably the most important part of the...

    I plan on giving the nem it's space. I've had quite a few in the past. They are usually okay around zoas and shrooms, get into a little trouble around chalices and acans.

    I've been wanting to compare the WWC Sunrise to the JF Crazy Fox and JF My Miami for a long time. Today I bought a frag of each. Only thing that is the same is that they all have a green rim Here they all are in a group shot This is just a sweet new shroom I picked up. You...
