Mark's 180 Starfire upgrade

How about a bad partial

I wish I was that good at seperating colors throughout my tank-good stuff

For a "bad" shot it sure looks like the last few months hard work has paid off. I'm glad the AEFW didn't drive you out of the hobby. I can only imagine what that would have done to me.

For those of us who are too lazy (if you ever did post), can you recap your current QT best practices for new corals. I'm going to be in the mode to look for a few pieces int he next month or two, and want to learn from your experience, what seems to be working best. I'm all for "more extreme" rather than letting something in, if it can be helped.

Thanks Joe, I try to keep different colors in different areas for prime contrast in photos Just another reason why its hard to add new corals.

No problem Pete, I have my QT set up and I am actually using it. I dip all new corals in levamisole and revive and before they get introduced into the display (if they make it) I do another round of dips and also add some interceptor as well. I have a couple colonies out in the garage that I just do not know what to do with as I am a little more selective as real estate is running at a premium righ now

Actually, they are from three different sessions. I have decided that a couple pictures a day will be my new years resolution and I am just trying it out; its not working to well :lol: Besides, these might be the last pictures for a while since my new bulbs were shipped yesterday.

:lol: What, you don't like the way I blast a ton of pics once a month????:lol:

 

[mpoletti]

No, no; I like that to. I am going more the suspense route these days
