Haven't several of you been to the store?
I recognize 6 or 7 of those color combos as ones I have/had. But I gotta say, 3 or 4 of those I just can't get my eyeballs around it's so blindingly colorful.
don't ya think the 3rd pic in 2nd row looks like a micro?

edit: also, what would they typically sell some of those for? I saw one comment there encouraging them to drop their prices.

how do you get prices?

Currentking, I think you have to go to canada for their stuff. I don't think they ship to the states but I may be wrong. Everyone in that thread asked about pricing so I'd be curious as well. I've got to take better images evidently :). Having time to do so would help. I have about 60ish pieces I could sell.

You just need how to learn how to manipulate photos in PS Casey...

These are not exactly how they look and I have nver seen them. I would like to know what Photoshop process they go through. Dont get me wrong I would say they are close, but PS is used to give them that extra pop.

I've spoken with RR guys and Jay told me they do use a little more blue on their Aussie lords tank to maintain the colors... they use T-5 lighting for their system... I dunno how many bulbs but atleast half are blues... I don't think it's pure actinic though... Aqua Blue or Blue +.. I forgot... I do plan on checking out their store when I get some time... very very nice guys... :)

prices are fair IMHO... :)

that is right... you have to upload and click crisp button .. you can add contrast increase as well

lol...that was me!....it was worth a try!!!! hahah

....one thing with RR...they're expensive as hell for a reason....they get corals no one else can get...and they do it all the time.

Page won't work for me. Pretty awsome, but I can only see them small.

they ship if you can foot the bill...there's a minimum though....so the regular joe reefer can't get the acans this way...you need to talk to some US store willing to do the work...let them hammer it out.....check that fish shop in Michigan...they seem to be buddy-buddy with J&J

the use 250W MH 20,000K Radiums (very bright and very blue) on the main coral vats (this was about a month or two ago..they may have changed that around..not sure)...lots of the aussies are still housed there......but they also have lots of aussies in the back, under said T5s (and yeah, lots of blue used here too).....their nano-tank...well...dunno about that...i do remember it being pretty heavy on the blue ;)

FWIW, Aussie acans look amazing with above avergae blue supplementation...something close to the 420nm range......that's just my experience....

hmmmm..did someone say 420!?!?!?!!?!?

lol
