my new baby... AKA The Café

[James_O]

Also my stunner had a growth spurt in the last week. Nothing compared to the monster of Frank's.

Here's the colony my stunner came from. Every bit of 3' across and 5 levels in a 6'x6' table.

What are these?

Oh, ok! That’s a good camera.

Portrait mode is a great tool when things aren't moving. I believe it takes multiple images, and stitches together the cleanest ones.

Yes! HDR is awesome. I believe it automatically does it when I take a picture, but I’ll try portrait mode just to see if it’s any better.

Oh yeah, and I moved the volcano palys up closer to the surface, above my big paly colony.

I wasn’t seeing any growth whatsoever, so I figured I would try something different:

Portrait:

Regular 2x zoom:

With portrait mode, you have to be much farther away than in regular. But both use HDR.

It's a plating chalice referred to as a Hollywood Stunner or Stunner for short.

see they didn''t even spill a drop (aka alcohol abuse) or crash....can't say that if they were texting or watching adult movies on the fork lift...
I had to bring that up because wife and I were going to a xmas party and a guy in a car pulled up along side us at the light and he had a car with a big screen navigation and was watching (p***) adult movie...!!!!!
So anytime we see someone driving crazy we and my friend have this joke going LOL "stop watching P*** and drive!!! hahah

The 3 (1 1/2) schedule 80 bulk heads should be here today !!! Then I can tie the tank onto the two sumps on the 300 and hopefully finish the plumbing.
Reefing addict gave me a good idea in one of her pic. I ordered 2 of the ADJ, 8 plug power bars yesterday should be here Aug 4th...
They gonna be used for all the ecotech pumps,lights, skimmers, under cabinet lights etc and the GHL stuff will run off there own GHL power bars.
ah coffee is a great thing...

Is stretched good? Or bad? (I don’t know the proper terminology. ;Facepalm )

I bet your getting antsy now Sounds like your going to it wet in no time. It is a very well thought out build and your not skimping on any level. Def going to be something special when it done.

i have a differing opinion on stretch/reaching zoas.
i have some up high that still extend.
my thought are they extend not because they is to far from the light , but larger polyp head so the stalk is longer to go sideways so they all can get tanned.
just a theory.
not that i have a clue.

Thanks LRT...you will see it one day...yes we antsy .....are not rushing this....next on my list is one of those electric linear actuators so I can have it lift the lights and canopy up out of the way. Of course it will take some planning to install it to the cabinet...but will make it easy for sure to get in the tank...

I was just on Marine Depot site looking for any last minute great deals....
Like Brightwell stuff or anything else I could use and struck out....glad I horded a ton of Brightwell stuff when it was 40% off now its all reg price...

Speaking of portrait mode:

 

[James_O]

@najer, don’t you have one of these?

I was lucky to get a picture with its dorsal fin fully extended. It was chasing away a clown that was near its cave.

 

[James_O]

@LRT, after reading kits of reviews on the Camera 2+ app, I decided to get it. I haven’t got it yet, because I’ve been busy. But when I do get it, I should be able to take macro shots.

I don’t know why on earth Apple wouldn’t just go ahead and add a macro mode to this thing. For what I had to pay for it? It should be included. (The cameras are part of the main reason why I got this particular phone!

Stretched as in looking tall, usually means they want more light.
