Sure man, if you ever come here your welcome to a frag of the SSC.

Too bad about CITES. I' going to London on the 9th....

Check up on the CITES, but, as far as I know movement within EU is oK? My LFS regularly goes to Germany and brings stuff back. There are many UK reefkeepers who have gone to a few EU countries and brought things back ok.

 

[Guttungen]

Norway is not in EU. So we need CITES from everywhere

 

[sahin]

Ah yes, Norway is not a member of the European Economic and Monetary Union...surprising, but with the current econimic situation of the EU (Greece, Italy etc), I suppose that is a good thing for you.

Sahin: Where in London do you live? I have to see your tank the next time i'm in London:rollface:

I usually don't like to take photos in blue lights only. But I took some the 28th of may. Here they are.

Acropora Tenuis or Subulata.

Acropora Vermiculata.

Acropora Millepora.

Imported as Acropora Caroliniana, but may be Lokani?

I like this little frag. Not sure what it could be. The growth tips and polyps are yellow-ish.

Acropora Caroliniana.

Acropora Echinata or Turaki.

Acropora Jacquelineae.

 

[selje]

Acropora Desalwii.

Acropora Hyacinthus.

My Pearlberry went down from it's stand. It's now on the bottom. Lost some color already.

Acropora Valida.

Acropora Desalwii.

Acropora Awi or similar

 

[saltwatertanker]

Wow!

 

[sahin]

I live in Central London... Like literally 10 minutes walk away from the London Eye, houses of parliament etc. you're welcome to come see my tank. It's not much at the moment though. New photos are nice, but I prefer the full colour photos because more can be seen.

 

[selje]

Ok, thanks for info Sahin. I'll contact you when I'm going to London for sure

Here are some new pictures taken 2. of june.

Meteorshower Cyph. Have a friend that wants a piece of this really bad. The plan was to let it grow on to the frag plug and brake the piece of.

"Rainbow" Tortuosa from reeffarmers.

Acropora Granulosa.

Acropora Desalwii.

Acropora Millepora or similar. Too bad the polyps has a brown-ish colour.

Acropora Tenuis.

Montipora Danae (reverse sunset).

 

[sahin]

Wow man, awesome corals. The thing is, they look amazing in your tank. You have some excellent skills in getting good colour out of these SPS corals.

I'd love to have frags of your Rainbow Tort, Pearlberry and the Blue/green Tenius.

 

[selje]

Thanks Sahin:spin1: I'll see what I can do about the frags.

I've bought some new fish the last week. Here's some pictures if you're interested (not sps though:fish2

Xanthichthys Auromarginatus. This is one of my favorites. Lost my previous Auromargintus male to a suicide jump about a year ago. I hope this will get along with my other Auromarginatus female.

A wrasse to. Got ID that this is supposed to be a Cirrhilabrus Rubrimarginatus.

 

[sahin]

Both are very nice fishes. I like the Auromarginatus; these fishes have an awesome body shape, I love how they swim. My brother has a Niger Trigger; and it looks amazing. Yeah, my bro keep glass covers on his tank because of the jumping.

As for the Rubrimarginatus, thats a nice fish too, adds some nice colourful, movement to the tank.

I managed to get hold of another slightly different type of Strawberry shortcake. This one is a faster grower. I already made a frag of it and it has nicely encrusted. My tank had about 15ppm nitrates, but it still is holding very good colour. I am doing more water changes to bring the nitrates.

The person I got it from is a retailer, he cultured the shortcake for a year. He is not releasing it yet, but when I visited his place, he sold me a frag of it. This one has the same signature green base with pink tips. Lovely.


But it just shows that cultured corals are hardier and better at holding colour.

PS, I am swapping to Canon system. My now ancient Nikon D70 camera battery wont hold charge. I will hold onto my classic Nikkor lens but sell off the other stuff and buy a Canon 650D (T4i) next month. Early in the new year I intend to buy a 100mm macro for it.

Meanwhile I will use lens from my two brothers; they both have canon cameras.

What do you think of the Canon 650D?
