Pinner Reef Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I like your photography/ photoshop adjustment skills. The pictures look very correct in terms of what I'd imagine the colors to be. Bluespot's colors seem very correct. Link to comment
squirrelieygrrrl Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 I like your photography/ photoshop adjustment skills. The pictures look very correct in terms of what I'd imagine the colors to be. Bluespot's colors seem very correct. Thank you. That's what I try for anyway. The first set were iPhone pictures hence the poorer quality. The second set were with a Nikon dslr, then adjusted pretty minimally in Lightroom. I generally look at a piece of live rock in the image and try to adjust it to what it actually looks like. The coral or subject of the image tends to follow suit. Link to comment
squirrelieygrrrl Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 In regards to my testing this morning here's where things ended up. Mg - 1410 (much more normal) N03 on replacement water 0 for both tests K - 380 I've never tested for K so I'm going to have to do some research to understand what to do with that result and then adjust if necessary, as well as monitor any daily decline in that value. The test from Red Sea is quite time consuming at around 20 min in total, and a +/-5% accuracy. I'll be glad when I narrow it down and can have a defined dosing schedule. Link to comment

squirrelieygrrrl Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Finally took the time to take, edit and upload pictures for the reef. Now if i could just fast forward time and let things grow out. Some are from ebay, the local LFS, friends, the world wide corals live sale. Partial room shot FTS FTS #2 Left side Right side Zoa Garden Yumas Micromussa for my wife WWC Hallie Berries, so much prettier in real life. WWC Frutti pop acro Unknown Acro Alleged Rainbow Prostrata, we will see with this one. Blueish purpleish stag (?), got it from ebay, the picture was much more blue, hoping it colors back up Unknown acro, I like this one. All the unknowns came from a 5 coral grab back frag pack from WWC Green and blue tipped prostrata Unknown acro Unknown acro #2 Citron Millie WWC Little Red Ferrari, couldnt capture the colors on this one, body like a red dragon with yellow tips and polyps WWC Heartbreaker WWC Magenta Madness Millie Unknown acro, could be a Tyree Tri color valadia WWC Radioactive Anacropora I almost cried when while I was snipping off the peg on the frag plug it broke.... hope it heals ok. Purple Monster Snowdrop tabling acro Yellow Highlighter prostrata, couldnt accurately capture the colors on this one, definitely yellow in real life with a hint of orange. snagged it for 10 bucks on ebay. WWC Radioactive green slimer Jason Fox ultimate stag Peek-a-Boo! Link to comment

squirrelieygrrrl Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Oh my.....beautiful job sg. Scape,coral and pics are beautiful cant wait to see everything grow out. Aw thank you so much Hype, always means a lot coming from you. Wow! Nice setup, don't know how I missed it while u were in the build phase! I'm always in awe of you guys with your superior photography skillz & I have my crappy cell phone pics! lol Thanks Marc, this build was super fun. Probably my most enjoyable one yet. Here I was thinking the photos could have been much better, I gave my camera to a friend and have been using my wife's nikon which I'm not used to yet. Most of them were over exposed and the white balance was waaay off. Hot damn !!! This is a top notch build,with top notch coral,looking sexy up in hurrrrr !!!! Definitely following along Thank you!
