Let's try again
Ignore these pics. Better ones are below! Just scroll down a bit.

Looks nice. Really like the rockwork.

 

[SB0169]

Thanks! It's my first attempt. Hope to go larger someday, when I have more experience under my belt.

 

[SB0169]

Better pics, I hope! Still learning how to use this!

 

[SB0169]

oops... that didn't work!

 

[SB0169]

one more try...

Are they there?

 

[Quigley]

These are much bigger, better. Your tank looks great.

 

[SB0169]

Thanks! I just learned how to use photobucket... I'm a little slow sometimes

 

[edwing206]

The clown tang is cool! Where did you get him?

 

[SB0169]

Little shop on Pac ave in tacoma. Got him straight from the delivery box, and acclimated him myself. Saved a lot that way. Paid less than marine depot live without shipping. They get their shipments I think Fridays at 3, and if you're there when they arrive, you can get screamin deals.

Very nice!!! You anemone in that closeup shot looks like the ones we have around here in the wild in the Bahamas. Beautiful anemone

 

[Damsel13]

Really nice shots. I especially love the Tang! Thanks for sharing.

 

[SB0169]

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

Looks great thus far.... one suggestion- get rid of the aptasia now before they gain more of a foothold!

 

[SB0169]

What is the best way to get rid of them?

 

[SB0169]

Sorry to report... The condylactis anemone was killed Friday after being sucked up by one of my powerheads. I learned a valuable lesson... COVER POWEHEAD INTAKES!!! I now have them wrapped in filter media, secured with rubber bands.

Update. New Pics!

Here are a few new pics I took this evening. It's getting better!

I hope every one enjoys! I had a ball taking them

A Few More

These are not quite as clear. They were hand-held shots with fairly slow shutter speeds. 1/8 sec, 1/10 sec, 1/60 sec, and 1/60 sec, consecutively.

The next time I take pics, I will mess around more with the white balance.

What is the best way to get rid of them?

Make a kalk paste by mixing kalkwasser powder and RO water. Suck some up in a syringe and inject/cover the them. Having a few Peppermint Shrimp to make sure no baby ones pop up should do the trick.
