Reef1589's S. Gigantea Collection.

[ocellaris123]

i use a early 2000 camera flip phone..........


just kidding haha
i shoot with a sony nex-5... im not a photgrapher pro... i pretty much just shoot and point..idk how to really adjust the stuff in the camera.. so im sure someone skilled in that area could get even better photos haha...


attached photo is what the red haddoni looked like at the LFS

btw ocellaris...when r ureturning with a carpet anemone?

That is some camera phone

Probably not going to try a carpet for a while. I have a nice colony of different moprhs of rose bubbles living in my 40 breeder that im happy with. Your gigs are amazing; best of luck on that red haddoni. He is looking rough in that last photo at the store.

 

[Reef1589]

AWWWW! but your blue haddoni was so so..stunning.. haha

I have faith in what im referring him to as "Big Red"... as he's responded to the Levo (cipro) superbly, within 24 hr's he is really firm now, and mouth closing, my gut is saying he should be fine... but im not celebrating in the victory lane yet..

He is still currently in the way to small for himself Treatment tank as the bigger one I was gonna setup didn't work, at this rate, I will probably just keep him in this tank... for 48 hours and move him into my 65g Shallow Tank.. there is a nice 24''x24'' real estate spot he would love to purchase

[Reef1589]

crapppy cellphone pics

 

[OrionN]

Seeing his gut like this, I would not have the gut to buy him. I am glad that he is doing better

 

[Reef1589]

haha... ya... it was a big risk... and i staired at him for awhile contimplating it...

asked the guy at the lfs what his price was ...he said 400 when it wasnt sick... i threw a lowball offer at him thinking hed say no and he accepted it.. told him some of mt past expwriences with my nems.. and showed him pics and he said he was glad to sell it to me because i knew what i was doing and he didnt

 

[ocellaris123]

Thats a great recovery Robbie. Looking good; what clowns you planning on having with that red haddoni?

 

[Reef1589]

Well right now my snowonyx/rods onyx pair are jumping back and fourth between the purple s. gig and that haddoni...

im debating if I wanna keep him, or turn around and sell him due to space issues atm.. (I only bought him because it was a good deal.. and I trusted myself to turn him around haha) I kinda wanted to see if I could even turn him around..

 

[Reef1589]

Just some crappy cell phone pics for you ladies and gents

Purple S. Gig is looking good, and its white tips are really looking great lately

and the Red Haddoni did settle in, and then one night it decided to move, and go right into my Mp10... it looked bad, but he is healing up nicely, still hasn't closed its mouth 100%
