Show me your blue S. Haddonis

[Kaman8]

Yesterday a lfs called me that he got a blue carpet and it is holding for me . He still need to make pic for me, because sometimes they get confused with a gig. Hope this time it is a haddoni. Please show me some blue haddoni in your tank, want to see how color pop out. Thanks

By the way what is much nicer? Blue or red ?

 

[OrionN]

How about both?

The blue color is really amazing. Under what light is it?

How do you make such a close-up pics? What camera do you use? I have a canon D50 but I can't zoom that close.

 

[OrionN]

I use a Canon Rebel with one of the Macrolens 60 mm. Top down use a view box

 

[OrionN]

He is under Radion 3 Pro at 100% intensity.

So you white , blue , red , green are all set to 100%?

 

[OrionN]

Yes. Very clear bright natural looking for the animals.

Older pictures (( lost the blue one when the sump ran dry while I was in the hospital for emergency surgery; the red one to an infected purple one --- before a treatment was known )). I do have a new blue one that I need to get a picture of, it is about 6" and have had it for about 5 months now.

Red,

Blue,

Sunlight --- from a nearby skylight

Found a picture of the new one -- the day I put it in the tank, lights were off. Fully settled in now, and a lot darker, which I need to get a picture of.

Your old blue is looking very cool and your red one is very bright red. Does your carpet not sting the clam? Thanks for the pics

no longer have it, but here is my old one

How many inches is it above water? I am planning to buy the radion pro 3 for my new tank. I heard red can cause algae and harm corals. Do you have these problems with 100% setting?

 

[OrionN]

I have a 72X36 34H tank. Sand is about 6 inches. Haddoni on the sand. I have 6 Radions above this tank 4XGen 3 Pro Radions and 2XGen2 Radions. The lights are on a rack 14 inches above the water. On 5:30AM Off 9:00PM. From 5:30 AM until 7:30 AM the lights go from 0% to 100%, 7:00PM until 9:00PM the lights go from 100% to 0%. Moon light setting on.

My corals and anemones love it. No algale problem. Any open surface is covered with Coraline in 1-2 weeks

Ok the lfs send me pics of the haddoni today. He said that it is very healthy and sticky.

 

[Kaman8]

It looks really big this 1 . How big do you guys think that it is ?

 

[OrionN]

He is likely about 10-12 inches. Why don't you ask him the size of the basket. I am sure he will fit in your 75 gal tank. The question is how much room are you willing to clear for him?
He is a really nice Blue carpet. I think he will be at least as good as mine, which is something, because I have not seen a picture of a bluer carpet than my Haddoni.
From the look of this picture, he seem to be healthy enough and will not expand that much more when he is healthy.
Keep us update. I love to see a top down picture of this Haddoni when healthy, just to see if he is as nice as mine. Obviously he cannot be better

I will make pics when I get him home . I asked the lfs and he said that when fully inflated he is around 1 foot. I don't think this 1 need treatment.

How big is yours???

 

[OrionN]

About the same. I got him at 3 inches 5 years ago.
The best 180 plus shipping I ever spend.

That mean you feed it sometimes ? I have feed mine just 3 times in these few months and it is growing very fast. Mine grey green was 7" and is now 10". I think I will not feed the blue 1 at all.

The blue haddoni is more expensive here then blue gigs. Blue gigs are $57 USD and the blue haddoni is $96USD. And he told me that this is the first blue haddoni in the last 2 years.

That blue looks amazimg, been looking for something like that for a while...very scarce around here to find something like that and healthy to boot.
