Illuiix Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 The corals look great with those impressive growth you got going there. But, there's quite the algae on those side glasses. Quote Link to comment
Mr. Microscope Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Nothing wrong with a little bubble algae. Maybe get a couple emerald crabs if you don't want it around? Wish I could. The wrasse makes a snack out of them Is that rock removable? I just got rid of my patch (similar size). After removing the rock and putting it in a separate container with SW in it, I was able to take it all off with some tweezers. I just scraped against the rock and teh bubbles all came off in two in-tact clumps without any of them bursting. I also had some H2O2 in the container to be sure I wouldn't reintroduce any. Tank looks stellar BTW! Love the new cardinals. Quote Link to comment
Gramophone Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Tank looks fantastic, those new fish are really cool. Thanks, Rollajase. Your tank REALLY needs to get TOTM and soon! Reeftrola for TOTM JAN 2014 Oh, you guys Thank you! Borrow kat's beating stick, those fish will tighten up. If she rents it out for cheap, then I'm in. The corals look great with those impressive growth you got going there. But, there's quite the algae on those side glasses. Indeed. I like to let nature do its thing. Is that rock removable?

RollaJase Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Great pictures, love the macros. Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I don't know anything about torches except that they're euphyliia. Are those both the same kind? Or is one bluish and one more purple? Sometimes I just can't tell with all the colors in lights. What are their colors? I know when I go to my lfs I'm mostly confused because of the poor lighting they have up and I can't tell what I'm looking at. Quote Link to comment
Illuiix Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Wowowow, those macros are amazing!! Again I have to ask, what camera and lenses are you using? I think I might've asked in thhe past but...lol. Quote Link to comment

I know when I go to my lfs I'm mostly confused because of the poor lighting they have up and I can't tell what I'm looking at. They're both branching torches, but are slightly different in color. You're right on the purple and blue. The tips are slightly different as well. I purchased them both from pacificeastaquaculture, my favorite place to buy coral. I would highly suggest shopping there LMAO! That's epic! Haha thanks, Ben. If you look closely, you can see that the wrasse is wearing shades, and one of the cardinals has a bow tie on. Wowowow, those macros are amazing!! Again I have to ask, what camera and lenses are you using? I think I might've asked in thhe past but...lol. Thanks, iix. I'm using a Canon Rebel T5i. Macros are shot with a Canon 100mm macro lens. The others are shot with an EF-S 18-55 mm lens. 1 Quote Link to comment
