Nanofreak79 Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 Don't worry,I was looking at FireCorals live sale stuff,all the CornBred pieces are so fu*king outrageous. I don't see how that idiot makes as much money as he does.. He had a ducking blackish colored torch coral with yellow tips, I wanna say he wanted like $2,500.....er ma gurd ridiculous, not to mention people are actually buying it. CC was cool and said there were a few hiccups at the start, no shit, and they refunded me the pre paid shipping right away. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 They seem to be a super reputable site though. They've always got some awesome looking stuff for relatively decent prices. I just don't like people who put a stupid name on shit,and charge a stupid amount of money for it. But,people buy it so kudos I guess lol. Soooo,you've got some LC stuff coming right ? My go to store is going to cut me up a Shortcake and PC Rainbow piece,so I'm happy about that Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 I'll pay for some of the "designer" corals, but only to a degree, and well I could never drop $1,000 at one time nor just for one coral.lol I just now put in my order for LC. I was going to order twice before then backed out because of issues. Today I found a few things, including a pretty sweet torch for cheap, couldn't pass it up. I might add the mint hammer, just to help fill up the garden. I should get three packages this week! I also ordered a camera lens set for my iPhone, hoping to get some better pics. I have Lightroom but can't get it to connect to my Flickr account. I heard orange filters help with better photos under LEDs? Dunno, I searched Amazon, there's nothing specific for phones. If someone could point me in the right direction for what to buy that would be awesome. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Get the orange filter,I actually was at a lfs yesterday,and got a pair of orange glasses and holy shit,really makes a difference. I'll show you a few pictures I took yesterday while at the store. Without the glasses: With glasses: I'd say it helps a ass load lol. I'd pick some up if you can find some decent priced ones.

That's crazy! I need some to use for pictures though, like a filter? Don't what people use. Another tank? Love Maxi-mini news and I would say go with the sexy's! Deffinetly going to use sexy shrimp. I haven't had any in awhile. I'm going to my local Petco to see if I can find a fish for the tank. Link to comment
picoreef78 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 What lenses are those? The "designer corals" I bought died, I also think the price is super inflated. Also looked at fire corals just now and saw frag sizes. I would advised the Reefing community in general to demand bigger frags of at let 1.75 inches for better growth and survival. The link is pretty good and has the reference for A. cervicornis study and frag size with morbidity and morality. http://coralmagazine-us.com/content/scientifically-smarter-frags Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Thanks! I agree on frag sizes. Even buying single polyps of zoas and palys can be a bad idea. I seem to have better luck with three to four polyps. Some of the cheaper easier sps can work for 3/4-1" frags but not the acros and some millis. I mean obviously some have luck, as I've seen it. Designer corals are sometimes worth the money, but losing them is a real heartbreaker. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Those were just the glasses I used and held up to my phone and took the picture. But the orange filters are cheap,regardless of size and adapter. As for the size frags,I've honestly got 3 frags right now,under a half inch,that have survived thru it all. Growth and color aren't the best damn thing there is,but they're alive and all starting to encrust. I really believe its if they're healed or fresh cut pieces which will cut down on the survival rate. Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 So I could buy an orange rubbery stick on the glass type, or something different? I'm going to Petco, be back! Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I'm sure you could. Or maybe a piece of orange circular acrylic online somewhere. Or if your camera has a lens adapter,find the correct mm and just screw it on. Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Cool, Amazon has a lot of different type orange filters. Video and pics coming up! Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Here is a not so awesome video of my new clown....should've gotten orange, black on black doesn't really stand out. Lol Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Newly ordered terror inhabitants! Finally getting back my prized shrimp I love so much. Still looking for a few crabs to put, but having a hard time finding somewhere that has all of them, don't want to pay shipping on three different sites. Not my pics, wouldn't let me copy from checkouts list?

Nanofreak79 Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Soooooo much life added today! I literally got one package while I was opening and putting away things, all live animals. Here's a sneak peak. I have my kids for one last day today, until the weekend. I'll see how much time I have for pics and stuff, most likely tomorrow. (null) by -Nanofreak79- Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Sexy party! I need a blue led strip to make these things glow. I really did get three colorful maxis, but it's hard to see it. I'll work on some better pics. I've lost one of my harlequins. I moved rock and everything to find it, only see one....which I had to pull out of the overflow box! He's finally eating now. Sexy shrimp won't take pellets from my tongs yet. by -Nanofreak79- by -Nanofreak79- by -Nanofreak79- by -Nanofreak79- Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 I'm missing one of my harlequins already. i moved all rocks and cannot find him. I found one stuck in my pre filter before getting sucked down the drain. a lll the sexies seem happy with there maxis. waiting on pet solutions to get back to me if they will mail another rather than giving me a refund for him, then having to pay shipping again.

Nanofreak79 Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Looking sexy up in hurrrrr mane !!! That second Maxi is sick !! Yeah, they all are pretty cool. the one that looks yellow with some other colors would look cool under led, or all would. thanks though. Ah that is sad about the harlequin. I hope you can get another. Cool sexies and maxis. Thanks Fun tank! Fun shrimp! Thank you Mr. M! I'm in awwww over some of your pics and your tank. thanks for stopping by! Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 So little update here. One of my harlequins is a goner. I added them to the tank, and never found the second one after that. All the sexy shrimp are doing well and eating cobalt brine shrimp pellets. I've fed my single harlequin almost a whole starfish at this point. He's able to eat a full CCS arm in just a few days. I will be ordering another three pack of maxis from LAreefs in a week or so. I slo want to either gut this fixture and DIY LEDs in it or just buy some led fixture. I don't need anything strong, I'm just doing maxis and the tank is only 7" deep. Any suggestions? Edit: I want LEDs, maxi colors just need a little something extra to make me pop! Link to comment
