uwdanno Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Love that last shot! Thanks! Every once and awhile I get lucky on a pic! My camera settings may as well be written in hieroglyphics. I don't understand them yet Link to comment
uwdanno Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Quick overhead cell pic. Got the alk up to 8.6 from 6.7 over the last couple days. Planning on keeping it at that level for a bit Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Looking good man,what're you using to take pictures ? Link to comment
uwdanno Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Looking good man,what're you using to take pictures ? Thanks. That one was just my iPhone6. Usually I use a Nikon D3200 with 50mm lens with extension tubes. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Oh okay. I learned they shoot pretty well if the flow is off and its not too blue. I need a new camera I have a old Sony DSC-100 and its just worn out lol. Link to comment

I need a new camera I have a old Sony DSC-100 and its just worn out lol. They do. There is also a feature in the phone to edit down some of the exposure and color balances. Works great for a quick update. Uploading to the laptop and into photobucket gets to be a pain in the A with my nice camera. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Yeah the new update they came out with does it on all the iphones. I honestly just sharpen,contrast and some other minor editing on Instagram and then upload to photobucket and then upload here. It's a process but it works. So I take it the Red Dragon kicked the bucket ? I see the frag plug is empty... Link to comment

It's such a sensitive coral. Link to comment
uwdanno Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Still here. Tank still healthy. Spongeode colored up. Added a Purple Acro. Wild PE on it. Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Very nice- that FTS is awesome and really like that last pic- great colors ? Link to comment
Halo_003 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Really would love to pick up one of these tanks for my desk after seeing what you've done with this one. Link to comment
uwdanno Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Really would love to pick up one of these tanks for my desk after seeing what you've done with this one. It's an awesome tank. Really. I've alwasy thought it would be really cool to fill it full of hammer coral- like to the point that you can no long see rocks- and put it on my office desk. Low maintenace and great to look at. The tank itself isn't terrible expensive but I did upgrade the pump, light, ATO and heater. It's fun. Looking Good! Very nice- that FTS is awesome and really like that last pic- great colors Thanks guys. Local frag swap coming up next sat. On the look out for- Zoas. Encrusting monti. (Reverse superman, mystic sunset) Acan or candy cane Maybe another hammer. Everything is doing well and growing. I also have several new sprouts of purple coralline. Very nice color Link to comment
uwdanno Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 Bought a 20gal Fusion. Cranking out new water now. Unfortunately I will be taking the live stock from this pico and moving it to the new tank. I'll add a link to the new build thread once I get it going. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Can't wait to see the new set up man !! They are such awesome tanks. Link to comment

uwdanno Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 What is the frogspawn on the left? The translucent one with neon green tips? It's stunning! Sorry for the delay. Been working on my 20g. I'm really not sure the type of frogspawn. A friend gave it to me and it was the first coral I put in the system. It's a great piece Link to comment
OsiViper Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 You know, I love big coral tanks.. But these nano/pico tanks have an appeal all their own. Its amazing to see so much life in such a small tank. Link to comment
hauksanger Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'm gonna save the pic and keep looking. It's stunning, really! Link to comment
