FlCandy Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Ignore the algae, it's HA and I am going to be ordering some red leg hermits, emerald crabs and a pair of Harlequin shrimp for my starfish overpopulation. I swear the corals are not that pale.... it's either correct brightness and washed out colors, or darker pics and correct colors..... Hopefully the next pictures will be under the LEDs' Excuse the frag rack.... one is claimed, the rest will be for sale as soon as I make sure shipping will be successful. SPS side.... like I said pretend the algae isn't there, I think the T5's being close to a year old has alot to do with it as well I lowered them an inch to start getting even more PAR at the bottom so things aren't too shocked when I convert to Dual Pros. That's a whole new animal...... These last few are with the 32mm lense to get better depth... Still 32mm Flynn.... weird the only one who made it was the teeny blue squammi but I am glad he is still with me. Seems more food = happier clam..... Punk Rockers and Eagle Eyes Aussie Rainbows. Karl's Candlelight Lytho Green and grey Red and gold Out of focus.... But she has fat rolls. Fat as well. Hard to get a black fish with a black background..... damn that sounds bad.... Changa My weird colored Midas Darryl Bowie Fatty! Rics. Green Banded Goby Bogart Much better color then this pic shows..... it is so pretty. This is a deeper purple and green as well. Rainbow Yuma Sunny D's It's got to be some sort of Tort. It started out brown and purple from the LFS and now it's this. Just deeper then the pic, like a royal blue. All I have for now. Thanks for looking I may start picking brains soon once the lights come in. I WILL be selling some of my old stuff once I get the new stuff up. Mostly lighting, HOB stuff from the older tanks, etc. Link to comment
got2envy Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Wow! Looks great Randi Link to comment
Chew_Magna Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Tank looks amazing as always. Just wait til you get that new light hung. If you think taking pics under T5's is hard you're going to have a blast with leds lol. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Wow! Looks great Randi Thanks Maria! Tank looks amazing as always. Just wait til you get that new light hung. If you think taking pics under T5's is hard you're going to have a blast with leds lol. Thanks man I am hoping so.... T5's is impossible to get a top down and then you can never get all the factors right. Link to comment
Chew_Magna Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Thanks man I am hoping so.... T5's is impossible to get a top down and then you can never get all the factors right. Ah I hear ya. That is a pretty huge fixture you have over the tank right now so I can see how it would get in the way. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 More then gets in the way, the reflection makes getting pictures without a shade between the camera and the light to block it which makes it dark and hard to get the TTL colors. I am so excited. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I"m still there trying to learn get pics under LEDS. Link to comment

FlowerMama Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Is that the powder that Albert sells? Yep, I went and ordered some myself but I think I told you in an IM that it was Prodibio in error. Daphbio, you say tomatoe, tomata, etc. So they sounded the same. Link to comment
Zia Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hey Randi, The new FTS is off the charts with color and happiness! Gotta say i was a little unsure of the salt & pepper sand bed when you were first doing it. But it turned out fantastic. Absolutely love the contrast of color between it and the corals. Plus it just looks so clean, well done! Ive been MIA and still catching up. But wow you had some recent major events going on. WOW congrats on winning that insane new tank and EcoTech package What a dream and a amazing feeling that must have been when you found out! As if that wasent enough good newz. How do you trump that?! With a new baby girl on the way, that's how Wishing loads of happiness to your family in all your new upcoming adventures, Happy New Year! Link to comment
FlCandy Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Those Acan's are sweet!! I need to grab a couple some day. Their Aussie Rainbows, I love them and soon here I will be able to ship with confidence I got 3 heads for like $30 at the summer frag swap in Florida and now I see them selling for $50 for 2-3 heads..... I will be passing on my savings that's for sure. Looks great, those acans ( and the rest ) are awesome. Thanks! Is that the powder that Albert sells? Yes it's an amazing crack like substance for corals and you only have to feed it once a week! Yep, I went and ordered some myself but I think I told you in an IM that it was Prodibio in error. Daphbio, you say tomatoe, tomata, etc. So they sounded the same. Yep the Daphbio Powder! Hey Randi, The new FTS is off the charts with color and happiness!

The tank has really surprised me the way it has grown. The sand was kind of a gamble.... Deckoz's tank inspired it but I only used 2 sands instead of 3 if I recall ..... I love the mix of the fiji pink and tahitian moon. I have been MIA as well but yeah it has been a great start to a new year that's for sure! Thanks so much for your congratulations on both of these amazing things that have come about. Just has my head spinning and I cannot wait! Got news today they will be shipping out soon. Just WOW this year is for once starting out the right way. Hope everything else follows the trend but with a baby on the way how can one have a bad year? NM I don't want to know! Thanks again everyone I will have more pics this weekend as I have time to snap some in the next day or so and the water is super clear now for some reason...... like more then crystal almost forget it's there..... need to work on the DSLR pratice as well.

got2envy Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 That blue tort is WOW!! I can't wait till you get that tank up and running! It's like it's both ours...just at your house LMAO Link to comment
gena Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I'm considering buying some of the coral crack . Awesome news on the tank . Link to comment
FlCandy Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Get the coral crack gena it's amazing. Maria I can't yet no room until we get a bigger place but thats probably a year I two down the road. On a side note : Going to be making a list of equipment for the tank I am looking to sell. Look for it this week Wednesday or Thursday also have some corals that need fragging and selling if anyone is interested in SPS here in NC I have a few that are healed for over a month. Also tons of green macro. Reason I'm selling stuff is I have so much that won't work on this current system or the other and the LEDs should be here this Friday. Woot woot! Pics of before and after the lights are changed out I am so excited. !!!! Link to comment
lnglostsurfer Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Just got back on NR and started to catch up on peoples' threads. Your tank looks fantastic! I love the way your pictures come out, I'm starting to play around with photography....with the DSLR I got for my fiance for christmas. Noticed you mentioned something about frags going up for sale soon, Definitely let me know. Annette made it sound like you were only a block or two away from me. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Yeah I think we are right down the street from you is what she said. I have SPS ready now to go, both of the candlelights, That blue tort and some ORA Green Tip scripps. I have to get frags of some more SPS and I was going to try the acans. As well as make a few more Zoas frags. I can send you prices and pics later this week if you want when I take an inventory. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 So lights and tank probably won't be here until Wednesday as I won't be home Friday to accept it and they do not deliver on Saturday but I'm home Wednesday after 12 and should be getting it then. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 At least they're keeping a constant communication with you w/ updates. Link to comment
