uwdanno Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Even with all those big name corals the Forest Fire is still my fav. Do you keep yours near the sand bed? Seems like they like a little less light to get the green base Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I use a porthole viewer from avast. Turn on as much light as you can and set your iso and aperture so that your shutter speed is at least 1/30th of a second. That will overcome shaking. I always hand hold my top downs. Awesome. I've been looking into getting a porthole for the camera but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Quote Link to comment
DaveFason Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Unreal! Your tank is truly and inspiration to all of us. I am now thinking, 365 project for my drop off. Just to cool to see! Keep it up! -Dave Quote Link to comment

I've been looking into getting a porthole for the camera but haven't pulled the trigger yet. TheKleinReef - Glad you liked the reply. The Porthole is well worth the money. I consider it a reefing tool at this point. Unreal! Your tank is truly and inspiration to all of us. I am now thinking, 365 project for my drop off. Just to cool to see! Keep it up! -Dave Dave - I'd love to see you do a Project 365, they are a lot of work, a huge commitment but a project worth the work. Quote Link to comment
urbaneks Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 September 26th, 2016 - Photo Update It's been a week since my last update, here are a few recent shots of the tank. Humilis meets Slimer - My ORA Slimer has made many appearances over the past 9 months but this may be the nicest shot of it yet. I love the color and detail in the slimer and then the contrast to the Purple Humils really makes it pop. Both of these corals are mounted high and get lots of light and flow. Midnight Stag - What this coral lacks in color, it makes up for in the texture of the skin and rapid growth. I recommend you zoom in to really see the detail in this coral. I have this mounted high in the aquarium, it gets flooded with light and flow. Deep Water Acro - This is yet another coral given to me by one of our local reefers. It looks a lot like a Myagi Tort to me. I think I have this coral a bit higher than it needs to be. If I were to lower it, I think I could pull more green out of the base. Cherry Corals - Kick A$$ Horrida - Today's post is of a coral from Cherry Corals. I really wish that I could view this coral in the same fashion as this top down because it's pretty stunning. From the side, you miss all of that polyp goodness. Here is a post is of my Tri Color which is a bit odd, cause it's not much of 2 colors let alone 3. It's a nice coral all the same, especially viewed top down like this. Pearl Berry - My favorite of all time Bio Reef Green Goblin - The greenest of green corals, the Green Goblin from Bio Reef! This is a really cool coral, actually in the anacropora family. It's truly like no other coral that I have. 7 Quote Link to comment
