metrokat Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Sorry for the dirty glass, just took this cell phone picture of the mini colony your frag came from. There are only LEDs on in this picture, no T5s. And the same piece directly under Blue+ tubes. (you can see the branch that became your frag ) Yes lighting plays a huge part in the visual colors 3 Quote Link to comment
markalot Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I think the radical flow in my tank might be keeping my acros more compact. Not sure if I'm going to change it or not. 2 Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Katropora waitlist is now 24 long. I think the radical flow in my tank might be keeping my acros more compact. Not sure if I'm going to change it or not. It's a personal preference, also compact corals have a chance to get detritus trapped in the middle and eventually not have any flow causing die off. It's natural but I don't have to like it. It was the same in my RSM - they grew bushy and compact instead of gangly. My new tank with the gyre flow has more of a chance to grow gangly corals. But now the colonies are the tabling kind and the branching corals are still baby frags. 1 Quote Link to comment

kimberbee Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I voluntarily bump myself to the bottom of the list. I need my current SPS's to be happy before I can get a frag of this beauty! 1 Quote Link to comment
Slowtwitch Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 So that's like a two year wait? I can be patient. I don't LIKE to be, but I CAN be. 1 Quote Link to comment

markalot Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Who are these people! It credits the photo to Roger. /shrug Eww, but that just links to his flickr account. Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 No I recognized it as his picture, but who are these guys. I sent them a message. I'm curious. And If the coral is going to be famous then it should have more pictures and more info, 1 Quote Link to comment

And If the coral is going to be famous then it should have more pictures and more info, If Klein posted the picture to the site that's one thing, but to put their logo on the photo, even if credited outside the photo, is complete BS. 3 Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 That's for Roger to decide, it's his picture. I'm just saying if it's going to be famous then the page should have some more pictures and info. 1 Quote Link to comment
NanoFever Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 That's for Roger to decide, it's his picture. I'm just saying if it's going to be famous then the page should have some more pictures and info. Is this Rogers website? I just clicked on 3 random acros and hes the photographer for all of them? LOL! Quote Link to comment

LOL! no, there are other people, and albert is the most frequent poster. I think it's a new site so they don't have too much traffic, so just a few people submitted photos. That site doesn't seem to be about having a lot of info or anything, just another 'ID' site. ah, okay. Yay, famous!! 1 Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 A member here (The Salt) asked if he could use my pictures for his ID website. I guess I thought he'd keep my watermark on it, unless the original didn't have my watermark on it. I can't remember it was around Christmas time that he asked for permission to use it, but he did ask. 1 Quote Link to comment
