Ali_Maga Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Dear Nanoreefers, My name is Magdalena and I'm infected with influenza aquaria - the nano reef virus! Since I remember I was fascinated with the marine world – probably due to watching too many films made by Jacques-Yves Cousteau! I got my new tank in November 2012. It’s an Aqua Medic Blenny 21G (80L) cube. The current setup runs from January 2013. Dimensions: 15,75x19,7x15,75 with a separate chamber for skimmer and flow Lights: I replaced the original led lighting with the simple T5 light 4x24W (Bulb combo ATI 2 blue plus, 1 purple plus, 1 special white). Skimmer: I replaced the original Turboflotor 500 skimmer with the AM Miniflotor & Atman R9500 air pump Flow: Original AM NanoProp 5000 My target: LPS corals and soft corals, colorful like zoanthus and ricordea florida species, so I plan to keep my tank simple. Here are some photos from my tank: The tank is now 5 months old. Still some cyanobacteria leftovers - I wish they go away soon and than I will dare to post a full shot of the tank I hope you enjoyed the photos! Link to comment

Passaggper Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 People still use them without permission. True. Also, if they really wanted to, the watermarks can be easily shopped out. Most copyright data would be preserved in the metadata. Anyway, and nice pictures! I think you should post a FTS anyway. Where are you from? Link to comment
Ali_Maga Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Hi guys, Thanks for dropping by. I shoot with Canon DSLRs, most of the photos taken with 100 macro lens. But after seeing your tanks I will not post any general photos of my aquarium at least for 6 months Take care! P.S. I'm from Warsaw, Poland Link to comment
Ali_Maga Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 I have to make confession. I have a huge weakness for zoanthus corals. I can't resist to buy new species and they are my favorite subject for photography. Let me share some zoa madness with you On the other hand there are acanthastreas... It's so difficult to decide on one particular species. What are your favorite corals and why? Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Welcome!!!! Those pics are incredible!!!! Link to comment
Ali_Maga Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Thanks Spirofucci! Such feedback is best motivation to experiment more with the lights and camera I checked your tanks and they are amazing! I will read the thread tomorrow as I will have more spare time. Lovely forest of SPS corals, beautiful carpet of ricordeas and a nice sailing ship model too (looks like the J class?) Take care! Link to comment
Polarcollision Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Great macro shots of your zoas and fish! It looks like you have a nice mix of sofites. Would definitely like to see the FTS. I'm so jealous of your spotted mandy. When my tank grows up it wants to be a ~40 gallon so I can have one, too. :-) Tail spot blenny lovers unite! P.S. +1 on more photos. :-) Link to comment
Zia Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 ''influenza aquaria'' O that's what its called. Umm, i have that to. +1 on more photos. Dont be shy, throw up a fts. I'm sure its lovely. Link to comment
