May pics of my young collection

[mpoletti]

I took some new pics today. Please do not beat me up too bad because my collection of corals are still juveniles. Hopefully, with time and care, they can grow into healthy colonies. They were taken under full lights- 2x250 Pheonix HQI and 2 x 54 T5 giesemann actinic+.

Looking good!!!!!!

My question is now: What DONT you have?????? After finding places for all my new treasures today, I realized I need a bigger tank.

You won't be smiling when that digi is a big as your fist in a few months wondering where all you tank space went like I am.


Great looking stuff man, the PE is a good sign that they are all happy too.......

I need to get that camera you and Jordan have, I like the way they turn out better than the girls digital cannon SLR

Wow, looks great! What is the one in the 17th picture? I really like that one. The tenuis mini colony looks REALLY good! I see you've just about mastered the camera already!

Jordan- if this is the one you were talking about. Tim and I got this a few weeks back. Tim had some cool colors on his, so I started hitting it with a little more direct light. I still have not id'd it yet, but the colors are really starting to come through.

Peter- Thanks for the kind words.

Doug- Real estate in my tank is a little sparce. I will be in trouble when things start to grow out. I still have a few spots that I am reserving for a few special pieces.
When things get too big I will have a decision to make- great deals for someone else or start another project
