DeMartini Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Thanks for looking and leaving nice comments guys clownfish, I bought my micro filter at ritz camera. Mine is a Quantarary +10 close-up filter. PICTURES!!! My SLR isn't charged, so I had to use my point and shoot camera. Magician Orange Crush acan... I kind of killed it when I was moving it around =( DENDRO!!! My favorite! UF Envy Orange unknown... Watermelon Blasto!! I got the best deal on this... he normally sells them for over $100 a polyp! I paid something like $20 :party: I love my coral guy =) two rics I also bought a Tyree flower petal monticap and a lemon drop acro... I'll take more pictures tomorrow when my other camera is charged. Link to comment
rean_jem Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 very nice corals, i hope to stock mine soon if money permits. sorry if i missed it but what kind of inverts do you have? Link to comment
joel sandoman Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 How long have you had that dendro? I have had mine for over 6 months and virtually no growth. And oh yeah, who's you coral guy? Link to comment
DeMartini Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 very nice corals, i hope to stock mine soon if money permits. sorry if i missed it but what kind of inverts do you have? A butt load of sexy shrimp... I think I have like 10... and some snails. I still need to add the inverts from my 14 gallon, so I'm going to have 2 pom pom crabs, 2 porcelain crabs, some hermits and some more snails. How long have you had that dendro? I have had mine for over 6 months and virtually no growth. And oh yeah, who's you coral guy? I just bought it today. I had 2 other dendro heads, but they died when I went on vacation. Link to comment

supernip Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 will you be able to maintain that filter feeding coco without compromising the water quality in your skimmerless system? You are braver than me =( Link to comment
Phixion Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Amazing pics as always Lauren, even the PnS camera ones, hehe! I'm amazed at how close to true to life colors you can get in your pics. My white balance no matter the setting just never adds up quite as well. =/ That orange crus is insane, it almost looks rainbowy more than orange crush like, but that makes it even more sweet looking!! I'm still working on my mini new BTW. Link to comment
DeMartini Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Right now I have a filter running and I will be using a skimmer sometimes, so it should be ok.

The orange crush is really cool..... toooo bad I smashed the hell out of it... ohhh welll at least a little bit of it survived. Link to comment

The orange crush is really cool..... toooo bad I smashed the hell out of it... ohhh welll at least a little bit of it survived. I've had worse. A while back I had a NICE all red blasto mini colony fall atop one of my nice rics. Must have been like that for 6-8 hours at the least!! I pulled the blastos off and at least 5 heads were toast as in NOTHING left of them, fortunately the 2 biggest heads were still there but about 75% of each... The ric I honestly didn't think would make it, there was TONS of zooanthelle puking out from it's mouth and it went from nrmally half dollar sized, to dime sized. Needless to say BOTH corals recovered fully and the blasto grew back flesh on all of the damaged parts. So that orange crush should work itself out over time. As for the camera I use, I have a Canon PowerShot S1 IS. It's a wonderful camera but for some unknown reason never came with a macro mode. That's really my bottleneck with the camera, other than that it takes wonderful pics! Yes, I plan to get a DSLR eventually here, hoping to get a Canon Rebel XTi or XS... Link to comment
Falcon_Punch Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Wow! I love those pink and blue rics! Link to comment

Phixion Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 The ric garden is like whoa!! PPEs = lol!! So what's gonna be on the selling table? hehe The wife's bro-in-law has an XTi which I've used a couple times and after using it, I've been sold on wanting to get one. Indeed a great DSLR camera!!
