47G SPS...Revamp

Awesome FTS Sahin! Looking at your tank just gave me a sudden urge to buy more frags. I was going to let what i have grow out but you got me convince quantity is better than size?!?! lol.
 
Your tank is looking good! Thanks for putting an effort to treat us a fts, always appreciated. However, remember, family and work first.
 
Hi Sahin,

Your tank looks really nice and lively with the new anthias in it. Let's hope you can keep them alive over a long period of time.

I have never been successful with anthias despite feeding them regularly and often.

I went to Cockfields today to drop some frags from my tank. I successfully resisted the strong urge I had to buy five female lyretail anthias I saw in there. They were only £17 each. However, having considered my unsuccessful historical background, I turned my head away for the sake of the fish.

Mark has now a few of my A. copiosa frags, which you fancied. If you want he can deliver them to you. They are not particularly big though. I will take the biggest and thickest frags to him when he gets my Genicanthus watanabei in the Autumn. These fish are not cheap. I saw three large females (3+ ") in Abyss yesterday. They were £85 each.

Cheers

Bulent
 
Sahin,
Thanks for the FTS, while I know you are not totally pleased with your corals, I am confident that it will be back to epic status in short order. The tank looks great BTW...
Regards,
 
Time for some photos...not just SPS this time.

Red Planet not as bright red as used to be.

Had this piece for a couple of years; only recently started to grow. I can see hints of red on the tips and body...

Those are some fantastic pictures Sahin! I love the Anthias, how many do you have in there now? The Shortcake looks great too!
 
Wow, all acros have nice PE and encrusting. The transformation on the ssc was very nice. How long did it take to turn to this beauty? Are you still using the Pacific Sun light fixture?
 
Great photos Sahin! Fish are so hard to photograph and yours are so sharp! Great colors coming out in those acros and that SSC transformation is amazing.

Thanks for the update. :beer:
 
I'm really gobsmacked at how beautiful ALL those images are Sahin. I can't believe those fish pics, my male lyretail anthias is about half way through getting his colors so looking at your guy put a big smile on my face.
I'm really pleased for you that the tank is well on its SPS way again, all the hard work you put in to the hobby really shows in those pics my friend :thumbsup:
Your SSC is looking like it supposed to which is a sure sign the water is right again. :)
 
Sahin, beautiful shots!!
Corals are looking fantastic!
Often, the shots are darkened slightly to bring out more subtle colors- I do this sometimes to enhance the saturation but your shots are so bright,crisp and colorful. Love them.
The last coral in the first group is stunning. Love the red polyps and blue body.
Really nice editing. Amazing color!
Fish shots are so bright and clear, as well..
Do you use any hdr software for processing? It looks like just a hint of it.
Beautiful!
