Awesome pics man!

Man, what is that first one, Mike? Those colors are outstanding on all of them, but especially that one. It looks like a pumpkin patch, or Blanca from Street Fighter, lol.

i have jealous pangs going on!!!

 

[mcliffy2]

Thanks all.

The first one is an acan echinata.

I like the pumpkin patch as an LE Mcliffy2 name....

Mike how is regal angelfish doing?
Any more pictures of that true beauty?

 

[mcliffy2]

maxx - I would love to name it but I think it is just a common acan echinata aka orange crush aka agent orange.

Daniel - The regal is doing awesome. Eating well and getting along with everyone. I'll try to take some more pics soon.

Thanks sunnyx, just trying to do the dimensions justice

A few new pics:

Awesome shots man .. I love lookin at your pics..

 

[mcliffy2]

Thanks reeferpnoy.

Here are a few more:

Since my clowns won't host this goby and these zoas are the closest thing I've got to a hosting fish:

Tried to get pics of some corals I haven't posted many pics of:

Bad pic of my superman, which for some reason grows better in the shade (making it tough to photograph):

Prism Favia growing nicely:

This Aussie Favia frag was given to me. Its a cool color variation I haven't seen before:

The Target Mandarin posing.

My "pink" birdsnest, which always seems to turn purple and green on the tips:

Yellow Milli/Prostata (not sure which):

I was given a frag of this interesting chalice - it has bright orange mouths, a green speckled surface, and is developing neon green edges similar to a watermelon. (This is the one that might have to be named pumpkin patch ):

Blue Milli that is finally blue (couldn't get this one colored up for the longest time):

Looking Great. My pink birds nest has turned purple too. I cant get it to stay pink. I have a similar bulb combo so maybe it has to do with so many blue bulbs

 

[danielp]

Hey Mike I am not suggesting anything, except that I really like those zoas around Yellow Milli/Prostata
Oh and I am still waiting for regal angelfish new photo.

 

[mcliffy2]

I kinda like it being all funky colored. According to fijiblue placing an ATI AS Special right over a birdsnest will make it turn very pink.

daniel - the regal wasn't posing last night, but I'll snap one soon. And I was the milli liked the zoas as much you do I'm going to have to break out the razor on those zoas soon....

 

[ReefEnabler]

looking great!

what bulb is the "ATI AS Special"??

did you mean aquascience or something?

 

[mcliffy2]

Sorry, I'm getting my ATIs and Aquasciences mixed up - meant ATI AB (aquablue) Special.

 

[ReefEnabler]

ah thanks.
I ask because Ive got a birdsnest thats a very ugly light tan color. From LiveAquaria diversden, looked pink in the photos but its been tan the entire time I've had it.

I took some frags from that colony and put them at the highest point I can, under some 14k MH and ATI Blue+.... T5s. might mess with the ATI AB Special again... who knows maybe I just have an ugly birdnest!

 

[victor90]

wow i see you graduated from photography 101

You know... not to hijack the thread too much... but I had a birdsnest like that. The trick was that any actinic or blue lighting washed out all the pink, and the lights with more red in them made the pinks really come out. Of course, these were the lights that washed the colors out of everything else.

These pics are outstanding!

 

[mcliffy2]

I tried putting a fiji purple over the birdnest and it definitely brings out the pink more.

And I also realized I haven't posted a FTS in a few months due to focusing issues I've been having with my DSLR for wide angle shots. Still having the issues but figured I'd post a full room and a few wide angle shots to give a general idea of the growth. These pics were taken with just my new sunset light combo -- Actinic, 2 Blue+, 1 Fiji Purple -- I love the combo of the green and orange pop from the actinic, the blue pop from the blue+ and the pink popping out from the fiji. (Also, excuse the cloudiness, I had just scraped the corraline off the back of the tank.)

I like the placement of your tank.....
