Well, I have been working on this project for a little while and I finally started playing with the camera to try to get a good shot of it, so here it is, and sorry my photo skills are not the greatest, next time I will get my wife to take them.

Thanks, I am trying to talk my wife into taking some good pics of my new frags, I picked up some really nice one's, the highlights are a chips acro, hawkins, and pink birdsnest, my wife is the professional photographer, so I am still suprised she let me touch her camera to take the couple I did get. I will keep you posted if I get some good pics from her.

Oh yeah Patrick(kole tang) is the shy one, spongebob(foxface) as you can see is in your face always, he managed to get into nearly every picture I took, I had to crop him out of several.

Very nice tank. I had a Fox face in my 75 for about 2 years and then he got to be 7 inches and developed a taste for my crocea clam. I hated to do trade him back to my LFS but I had no choice. I wish you luck with yours because they are a fun fish.

Can we get a closeup of your bubble tip anemone? Thats a really deep red.

It looks like you're using the ReefGeek 4 bulb T5 retrofit kit, are you overdriving them or not?

I will see if I can get a good shot in the next couple days, and as for the lights, it is a 4x54w T-5 retrofit kit that is overclocked, the brand slips my mind at the moment though, I'll post it when I find out again.

My light setup is an IceCap one, and here is the closeup of the RBTA that you requested.

Sorry for the poor quality, again I am not the photographer of the family.

The family went to visit Mitch, Julie and Cavin, recently, and I took a bunch of pics. Figured I'd start with an incredible growth shot.... Pay attention to the ORA Hawkins

Mitch, you posted this, 7-26-09. I took pics, June 24, '10. So, this is 11 months of growth. Amazing!!

The Pink Birdsnest

Here's a few more pictures I took.

Here, I'm focusing on the above pictured coral, when the Mandarin decides to intrude, but as you can tell, the focus didn't change...lol. Made an interesting picture.

and here, I changed focus, quickly.

FTS July 26, 09

FTS 11 months later. As I said, incredible growth. Mitch and Julie, you're definitely doing something right. Keep it up!! It was great spending time with you guys!!

Your tank looks very nice. I'm not the only one who has algae on their sand! -_-

haha I had forgot about that, I was battling a bit of algae bloom when those old pics were taken.

 

[dtd87]

Yeah I seem to get a tiny bloom myself every few weeks, just like that the tiniest bit of tint to the sand.

 

[fragallrock]

just looking through the threads nice looking tank

 

[MGDMIRAGE]

Beautiful tank Mitch! Those growth comparison shots are pretty insane especially the birdsnest lol. I also love your scape

 

[pblutang]

Really nice tank progression. I was wondering about the sand color in the first few shots. I am new to reef keeping and my sand color has the brown tint. Will this eventually go away or do I need to add to my cleaner crew?
