Here's an update! My photo skills haven't improved much, but the tank is doing great. I'm actually pretty excited about some of the growth I'm starting to get from some of my stuff!

Latest FTS

My favorite top down pic so far

My favorite favia - ASD Burning Gem (although my Raptor's peace and my Skinz Dreamz are competing with it at this point)

Colonies are growing...

Got this in the mail this week too!

I wish I was better at capturing true colors. I'm super stoked about this pack from Adam!

A few individual shots of some of these pieces.

What!!! This thread hasn't been updated since April!?!?

 

[Daniel@R2R]

Well...I do have some stuff to update. Sadly, I left for 2 weeks for grad school courses I'm taking, and I came back to the tank showing some real issues...I lost several SPS frags and colonies and one wilsoni that had become a colony. The tank is recovering nicely now though, and I should show off a recent acantho that I rescued and is growing out nicely. Pics to come...soon...hopefully...

The colors on that plate are awesome

Tank looks great. What do you run for filtration? Do you have a sump and/or fuge? And do you like the dark substrate?

 

[Daniel@R2R]

Not adding much these days to the reef because it won't be long before I'll be having to tear it down for the big move... :-(

...but the planned upgrade will be AWESOME (at least I hope it will be)!

In the meantime, I really need to work on my photography skills...anybody giving aquarium photography classes, sign me up!!

Here are a few recent pics:

You can't tell from this pic, but this is my JF Fox Flame which looks 1,000,000 x more awesome than I can get with the camera. Colors are dead on (even if they're not in the photo).


Here's my blenny watching over the JF Jack-o-lepto colony


AOG's


My sailfin tang just doin' his thing...


I love this clown pair. They'll be going into the new build (probably the only fish from this tank that will make it in there).

Looking good man! How long have you had the fox flame?

Thanks! If I remember correctly, I got it in April. You can actually see the frag in this FTS from late April (the one circled in red). I was lazy and just epoxied the frag plug and all to the live rock. The acro has now encrusted almost all the way down the whole side of the plug.

Here's an acantho I picked up at an LFS in Pittsburgh in May as a rescue.



Here it is 5 months later.

Been playing with my camera a little bit. Here are a few of my pics from recent shots. Still got a ways to go before I'll be proud of my camera skills, but I do think they're getting better.

Thanks, bro! Still need some work, but they're getting better I think.
