beautiful corals guys, great shots

This sucks everytime i see pictures of somebody's acros their polyps are out with the lights on. Mine are almost never out with the lights on. But so far from what i've seen everything looks awesome. I have those exact same Xenias in my reef but they have started to take over everything!!!

 

[Marc]

That was the same for me for years, Shallowreef. However, that could be other factors. Higher nitrate, higher phosphate, nipping fish, etc. My SPS extend like crazy at night, but I'm seeing some nice furry corals in my tank during the day time as well finally. Apparently, my water quality is virtually perfect finally.

That coral is absolutely stunning, and I watch it every day. It is very tiny, maybe 1.5" x 1.5" x 1.5" but it has made a ton of progress since last August. And it put up with the PO4 levels in my tank somehow.

See mine don't extend like crazy at night like they should. I got my LFS guy coming over on Friday to help out.

Well, I don't want to steer this thread off topic. Better you start a new thread perhaps, putting a link in this one. Polyp extension isn't exactly the definition of a healthy coral, but we tend to think it is.

Back on topic:

Actually, the suncoral shot is virtually directly out of the camera. I told it to autocorrect levels, and it darkened it slightly.

Here's what I recommend for photo adjustments: http://www.melevsreef.com/pics/demo/

Hey....marc ...I tried melev's reef didn't work ...I have got a 5 megapixel digital camera pictures turn out fuzzy unless far away....???

 

[Blazer88]

My picture was of my Ric, not some weird giant mushroom I'm using a really old 2.3 megapixel camera, you just have know how to adjust it. All of these shots were even taken w/out a tripod. I ordered a new 5 megapixel Kodak w/10x optical zoom, it should be here tomorrow. Any ways, here are a few more.

 

[dabears26]

Well how do you? This thing has drove me crazy....ANY POINTERS ???
