I finally got what is probably one of my favorites of all time tonight!

Nice! Great shot!

Thanks man! I can't wait to start taking some photos with my D90 again soon. I have just been using my point and shoot for all my current shots, but plan on pulling out the real camera soon and start shooting away.

Finally got myself a Tyree Pink WM:

Here is a shot of my Raptor's Peace Coral. I need to take one under daylight to show the purple color, since the PowerBrite makes it look blue.

Someone's hungry. And what I thought to be 4 eyes ended up being 6!

I have 2 Solana tanks the factory skimmer sucks! I replaced them right away with Tunze skimmers. I have current super nova 12k T5 lights,watch your parameters as the fluctuate easily in the Solana. I have a Bubble-Magus dosing pump for each tank and also an Arctic 1/5 horse power chiller for each tank. good luck set up looks great!

Uh oh... Someone went shopping over the past week... Hope some of you are looking forward to the new additions!

A few pics for the extreme late nighters... Will get more up either Monday night or Tuesday night. Tuesday I have a delivery of a few chalices from WWC, so I am definitely looking forward to that.

Before I left for work this morning I saw a few more of my new pickups open! I will try to get pics up tonight... Bloodshot fully opened now, Time Machines almost fully opened, Captain America's were fully opened, and Miami Vice's were starting to come out.

From WWC I have some watermelon chalices coming (just what I needed, I know). Jason Fox 4-color WM, WWC Red Weaver WM & WWC Sub-Zero WM. :bigsmile:

 

[sf_ramsden]

Alright, time for a few more...

Time Machines (man these things are tiny!)

Miami Vice

Captain America

Now that they have had time to open a little more...

Thanks for the love gadgets!

Just a bunch of frags everywhere right now. Until I decide what I want to keep and what is just taking up room.... Once I get my chalices from WWC (in Memphis now) I will be slowing down on the collecting and will start the grow-out. I plan on posting progression shots of the tank throughout this process.

I'm extremely happy with where my collection is, still need a few more z's and p's and I am still looking for a chalice or two (BPC Flamethrower mainly).

Thanks Brad! Here is a picture of the Purple Bonsai I took tonight (messing around with my D90, trying to figure out settings, etc)

 

[sf_ramsden]

A few more I took tonight with the D90. Trying to play with the settings a bit. I shot these in Aperture Priority mode in RAW, edited in Aperture (Apple - Mac).
