Jordon Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 i want a Flordia ric SO bad!!!! Link to comment
chantweaver Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 if you want Fla Ric you better get it soon. A bunch of people down in Keys just got arrested the week before Christmas for gatthering Rics. The Orange one s in Fla LFS have already started jumping prices with the news. Link to comment
ZoaNut Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Is it illegal to collect rics now? Say it isn't so.... Link to comment
Rene Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I don't think so...but it is illegal to collect in a lot of (read: MOST) areas, or if you're selling them without a permit, or if you're taking "ric rocks" with lots of substrate instead of individual rics with just a chip of rock. I'd like to hear the details on that story before jumping to conclusions, but I am very curious. There are a lot of ways to go wrong collecting in Florida because of all the laws surrounding it. Was that the ricordeas.net crew being shut down? I thought that happened a few months ago. Link to comment

Was that the ricordeas.net crew being shut down? I thought that happened a few months ago. From all of the reading I have done it is actually the live rock, and even more so the coraline algae believe it or not. You can collect single loose ricordeas without too m,uch of a problem, you can collect rocirdeas on LR provided the live rock it is attached to is less than one inch in diameter. It is illegal to collect on some areas off of Florida completely. I went to FL fish and game site and couldnt find any definitive info but I am 90% sure its about the under 1 inch rule. Amazing that its illegal in most places off of Florida, to collect coraline algae. Crazy huh. Oh and about ricordeas.net, I did an order from them before, they were really nice people, and from what I gathered the owner wanted to move back to TX to be with her family. I have heard some shiesty stuff about them but my experience was a good one and all the rics were nice and on under 1 inch of rock. Well I took some pics of my rics, not a great picture and I am still figuring out my camera but here they are. Well I can only get this one to upload here, but my galery has more, plus you can see my kick ass clowns! http://www.nano-reef.com/gallery/showgalle...mp;ppuser=19268 Link to comment
nUgZ Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Beautiful Rics chick. I was disappointed that they went out of business before I got a chance to get some of their stock. Amazing colors. Link to comment
Helfrichs Chick Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Yea, but they required a minimun of 100 for an order. $1000 is pretty rough for 1 person to spend in ricordeas, lol. I can not wait... I am getting another order in Febuary. I think I am gonna get 15 or more for myself this time. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Link to comment
halfpint Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Mine (there's another o nthe other side of the rock that 's identical): Link to comment
nUgZ Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Looking good halfpint and scarf_ace. Link to comment
Helfrichs Chick Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 Scarf_ace: I REALLY like those yellowish green ones, cant call them lime or yellow they are really cool. If you frag let me know I will trade you for a diffrent colored one. Maybe a hot pink or something Link to comment
reefpeace Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I thought I would add my two favourite night time ric shots... Link to comment
Helfrichs Chick Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 How are you guys getting these night shots. I tried last night (but that WAS after a bottle of wine) and they didnt come out at all. I do have the moonlights (which I think are useless, but helps the clowns not jump out) and with them on my whole bed of Rics GLOWS and looks bad ass, even all the Zoas are killer looking but camera doesnt like the lighting or something, pics just come out dark. Any suggestions... I am using a Canon powershot elph or something like that. Got it for Xmas so its still new to me. Link to comment
PieNinja Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Take a pic when only the actinics are on - that's how you get the fluorescing effect Link to comment
Helfrichs Chick Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 Um yes I know this, I am asking what are the camera settings that people are using. <not a noob lol Link to comment
PieNinja Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Lol, sorry I misread Usually for quick shots, I do automatic settings, but if I'm feeling adventurious, I put it in manual mode with a slow shutter speed or large f-stops. Edit: a tripod also really helps with those night shots! Link to comment
Helfrichs Chick Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 Yea I will try a tripod, the pictures just come out dull in auto mode. I will play with it tonight, wait till you see the pics of mine at night, its amazing, and I hate moonlights lol. Ok back to RICS! Link to comment
PieNinja Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 can't wait!! I'm a closet Ric freak... might have to post of some pics when I get home. Link to comment

I go into manual mode and do a 2-4 second exposure at F2.8. Believe it or not, both of these shots were hand held with the camera pressed tightly on the glass. I have been known to use a tripod, but only for a far away night shot like this (same exposure)... BTW, the lighting is DIY moonlights...and I love them ! Keep trying and you will succeed!!!!!

scarf_ace1981 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Helfrich’s Chick thanks. i'll trade you those for the one in your avatar. LOL Link to comment
junkitu Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I picked up a couple new yumas. Here's a tangerine and blue single. Also bought a small yuma colony. Pictured here on the right. Here's a shot of my rics and mushies together. Link to comment
Helfrichs Chick Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Helfrich’s Chick thanks. i'll trade you those for the one in your avatar. LOL LMAO yea I'll get right on that. I really dont like clowns and think they are the dumbest looking fish, but kinda nice to say I have ORA picassos. They are growing on me. Junk, those are fantastic. I am kinda wishing I bought rocks with multiple rics on them. I think when I get this order of 18 in Feb I am gonna glue them to one rock. Just looks cool I think. Link to comment
