ReefWeeds Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 The newest photo? If so it is just on the cycle tail end of the midday cycle. It looks amazing. I was able to snap a couple for fun. The colors that are coming out are flat out insane.

Is that a massive sinularia? It's really cool looking! (oops - apparently I'm WAAAAAY behind) Link to comment
DaveFason Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Vaca looks like it was everything it needed to be. Is that a Cyphastrea left of the Lepto? I'm sure you know already, but DAMN those things grow fast. They out compete neighbors for space insanely quickly. Oh I know. It will be a battle but there is a ton of vertical room between the other corals. Now I'm hungry. What settings are you using? I am having trouble getting my acans to color up. Yours are truly amazing! Awesome tank! Is that a massive sinularia? It's really cool looking! (oops - apparently I'm WAAAAAY behind) Go back a couple pages. It has all the info you need. Thanks! It has been a crazy few weeks. I was in Vermont with the glass blower who did the Statue of Liberty flame design and numerous other projects. We are designing some really wild aquarium "things". I also took some R&R and went to Mexico with my wife. We were in Cozumel and I spent 80% of my days in the water.

ninjamyst Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 What camera did you use for underwater pics??? I was at Cozumel a few years ago. The water was NOT that clear when I was there...hahaha. Snorkeling was bad too. Your pics make me want to go back. Link to comment

I was on the west side of the island and south. It really was unreal. Link to comment
gena Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 ~8"Thanks! I finally got to see one in person at MACNA. And brought it home . I'll be setting it up in the next few weeks! Link to comment
DaveFason Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Thanks! I finally got to see one in person at MACNA. And brought it home . I'll be setting it up in the next few weeks! Awesome! Really plan out the rock work as it can be hard with the small clearance. I had to scramble when swapping over the tank ( early morning whim! ). Link to comment
gena Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Awesome! Really plan out the rock work as it can be hard with the small clearance. I had to scramble when swapping over the tank ( early morning whim! ).I figure it's going to be way more difficult with a transfer...so I will totally take your advice on this. I'm a bit nervous actually . But looking forward to it as well. Link to comment

DaveFason Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 They are silly. I want to find some killer rainbows but have not found anything that made me pull the trigger. Damn dude those acans..... Thanks! More to come. Great video and pics - they're all incredible! Link to comment
NYfishies Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 They are silly. I want to find some killer rainbows but have not found anything that made me pull the trigger. Thanks! More to come. At RAPNY this past year WWC had incredible Acans. They were their high end signiture ones though and all very pricey. My experience with rainbows typically results in them becoming fat which means they turn orange. I've got some babies popping now that my mixed reef is doing well and they are more rainbow colored so I hope that stays. I have found other colors like blue and green to be great for Acans and the color does not shift as they grow. Link to comment
gaspipe1 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Dave, as with everything you seem to do you really push the bar!! Love the pics. Can I ask you, how are you able to post pictures here using Flickr? Macro fun All Blue LEDs. acanmacro by Dave Fason, on Flickr Link to comment

Can I ask you, how are you able to post pictures here using Flickr? Thanks. Upload the photos and then when you click the actual photos there is a small arrow that will appear on the bottom right. Click this and then the IMG code will appear. Copy and paste! -Dave Link to comment
NYfishies Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Dave, Ever try using this for Flikr? http://bbcode.icemaster.tw:7070/flickr/selectSets.do It lets you select multiple images at a time (select your album from the drop down, the Chinese writing one is the main album) and paste all at once. That way it does not take you to the Flikr website and rather opens a popup on the screen when you click the image. You can chose how large the popup image is as well. Link to comment
gena Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Thanks! More to come. Anxiously waiting for more pics of the tank . Are you using the filter socks? How often do you clean them? Link to comment
DaveFason Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 Anxiously waiting for more pics of the tank . Are you using the filter socks? How often do you clean them? I should have time tomorrow or Sunday. I just picked up a couple fish to add more life. I do not use the socks. My theory is to keep it super simple. I blow the back chambers every other day and hope that the skimmer pulls it out. Link to comment

Seems like they'll be a pita to clean but maybe not. Looking forward to some pics . Link to comment

Looking forward to some pics . I picked up a tailspot blenny and a captive bred mated pair of Bangaii Cardinals last week. My wife said I needed more life in the tank.
