Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Fin]

Lighting - to show you how long this build has been lingering, the lights are two Build My LED fixtures. They have been out of business for a couple of years. :p

Reef tanks, earthquakes, Katrina almost explodes, Fin’s tank has water, cannot miss a day of this awesome thread.

How are you holding up. Going through a down size is rough

Honesty in reefing, I still can't load pics but I haven't taken one yet, I moved something in the panic and I have blasted 75% of the flesh off my favourite chalice, I feel awful because I didn't spot it. :(

They are quick I couldn’t get good pics. But I got a tomini and a moyers leopard.

Jealous of that moyeri...

Jealous of that moyeri...

Thank you. The guy said this moyeri is the nicest one he’s ever seen. It was an extra $20 for “show quality” whatever that means. My tomini is already eating the ulva growing all over the place. I’m happy with my new additions :) I wish you all could see the moyers in person, pics don’t do it justice.

Posting shots like that can invite trouble to your residence.... if you see a blue infiniti pull into driveway flying this flag.

Who doesn't like the Jolly Rodger flag.

You’ll want to

@12gallonsofhex you may have mine beat! It's hard to tell on mine with the tentacles waving around so long. Let me try to get a look tomorrow when the lights first come on.

I know, it took me 3 trys to get those pics. I shook the rock its attached to so they would close up, and then take a pic when it was open enough to see but not so open that the other polyps covered the newbie.

The pics never do our tanks justice, but then some websites can make an aptasia look like a rainbow anemone. Someone needs to come out with dedicated reef tank camera that takes real world pics.

I tell ya what.... The Samsung galaxy’s using Pro Mode are as close to real life as Ive seen. Check these shots taken yesterday by @RichtheReefer21 of Fudsey’s tank. No filter, just pro mode with a couple tweaks and they are true to life.

Hahah well said! Very true.

@Katrina71 I forgot about our July 4th deadline for our new Duncan heads. Here is mine.

Those look really good

I know you posted at 0 dark 30. When do we get to see.
So is it true the higher the flow the longer the tenticles lower flow stubbier tenticles.

I guess its me. I have a galaxy S8, but all the playing around with settings doesn't work for me.

Thank you! They seem happier in the new build with better flow

Haha, Its me too! I actually paid off the balance of my sisters when she upgraded so Id have a galaxy to use for pics and can't get anything close to those either!! But I was there and saw those shots taken with my own eyes! LoL

@Fin that is one of the greatest tanks. Congratulations getting it going again

Katrina71 when did the Duncan contest start? Wish I knew. I stopped counting after seven new heads. Mine don’t look as happy as yours though

What is this you almost exploded?

@Hemmdog great choice on fish!

Not with mine. I think mine is just a freak! @Crabby48 I think we can include you in the contest.

+1. It is the worlds least organized contest. Their are no rules, prizes, or exclusions. Come to think of it, its more like a Duncan growth show off post
